Nucleus Genomics has stirred significant controversy in the genetic testing space with its new product, Nucleus Embryo, launching it with a provocative claim that parents can now select for both health and traits like IQ. This product allows for IVF embryo testing based on a range of attributes, raising ethical questions and concerns over 'playing God.' While traditional embryo testing focuses on severe genetic conditions, Nucleus introduces polygenic scores that assess the likelihood of complex traits, potentially enabling parents to make choices previously deemed ethically questionable.
Nucleus Genomics' controversial new product, Nucleus Embryo, allows parents using IVF to select embryos based on not just genetic health but also traits like IQ and physical attributes.
With the launch of Nucleus Embryo, the company aims to give parents unprecedented power in genetic selection, leading to ethical concerns over the manipulation of genetic traits in children.
