Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis in the Gulf Cooperative Council countries: utilization and ethical attitudes.

Hamza Ali HA Eskandarani

Hum Reprod Genet Ethics 15(2):68-74 (2009) PMID 19957498

Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) has been utilized by assisted reproductive technology (ART) to genetically screen embryos before placement in the uterus. However, many objections have been raised against the genetic screening of embryos, giving the practice an uncertain ethical, legal, and social status. Our aim was, therefore, to survey the possible presence and compliance to any legislation for PGD in the existing 60 in vitro fertilization (IVF) centres in the Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) countries as well as the availability of such a technological service.
