At present, science has made human life as easy as it is mysterious. The day is not far when parents will be able to decide not only the date of birth of their child, but also the eye color, hair texture and skin color of the child as per their wish.
An American genomics company, Nucleus Genomics, has developed software that can optimize the child's genes through IVF technology. Until now, in IVF, the embryo was implanted in the woman's womb by fertilizing the egg and sperm in the lab.
But Nucleus Genomics has gone one step further and developed a genetic optimization software called Nucleus Embryo. Which can check the suspicion of more than 900 diseases by analyzing the DNA of the fetus. It includes serious diseases like diabetes, heart disease, cancer.
Possible IQ level and mental health can also be known
Not only Rome, this technology is also able to provide information about markers related to IQ in the fetus, mental status such as depression, anxiety, BMI and height. Not only this, the company claims that the parents can choose the hair color, eye color and skin color in the fetal stage. How does
software work?
If you are planning to have a baby through IVF, you can upload the DNA data of 20 embryos from the clinic. The software will analyze them and give a detailed report. Parents can then choose which embryo will be best for them.
Ethical value
This technology is considered a great leap in medical science . But the moral value attached to it raises questions. Will people now design children? Until now, there has been a lot of opposition regarding the system of identifying as a son or a daughter in the fetal stage .
But now, if it becomes easy to decide what the child will be like from the womb, there will be opposition saying that it will challenge nature and it will also affect moral values . However, this process is currently being tested. The 25-year-old founder of the company, Kian Sadeghi, said, "When people do DNA tests to get information about their health, the embryos will also be tested for a long and healthy life."
