Designer Baby potential edits: Preimplantation genetic diagnosis section: There is a major difference between embryo screening for genetic defects and making a designer baby by selecting physical features. This article needs to differentiate between the two procedures. Furthermore, the article explains that pre-implantation genetic diagnosis is a procedure done before fertilization, but it does not describe what is done to the embryos. Overall, the preimplantation section needs more accurate facts and a better explanation of the science behind the procedures.
