What happened: A genetics testing start-up has launched a service claiming to help would-be parents optimise their future children's genes. This follows recent controversies around adverts referencing genetic traits.
Why it matters:
- Raises ethical questions about genetic selection and its implications.
- Potentially affects prospective parents considering genetic testing for family planning.
MNN Take: The service reflects growing interest in genetic technologies but also highlights ongoing debates about the ethics and impact of gene selection in humans.
