The 42nd episode of the Progress Educational Trust podcast discusses the science and ethics of PGT-P – a controversial form of preimplantation genetic testing that uses polygenic scores, rather than using more traditional forms of genomic data.
The discussion originally took place at the PET Annual Conference (see BioNews 1320) and features Dr Philip Ball, Dr Emma Meaburn, Dr Dorit Barlevy and Professor Angus Clarke.
