PGT-P & Designer Babies - Where Science Meets Ethics: With Jonathan Anomaly

Advances in reproductive genetics are pushing the boundaries of what's possible and raising profound ethical questions along the way. In this episode, we discuss PGT-P (polygenic embryo screening) and the emerging debate around so-called "designer babies." We're joined by Jonathan Anomaly from Herasight Genomics to explore the science behind polygenic screening and the moral landscape surrounding it. Together, we discuss how PGT-P works, the potential to reduce disease risk, the controversies around genetic selection, and whether the "designer baby" narrative helps or harms public understanding.
