Navigating Controversies in Polygenic Embryo Screening – ESHRE
European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Polygenic Embryo Screening: Where Do We Stand?
Polygenic embryo screening (PES) can now assessm IVF embryos for risks of heart disease, diabetes, schizophrenia and cancers. It’s already available, but highly controversial.
The disconnect: patients show strong interest – healthcare professionals have serious concerns.
Join this ESHRE webinar as international experts share new research on these diverging attitudes. Through focused presentations and panel discussion, we’ll explore:
- What drives patient demand vs. professional hesitation
- How views differ across cultures and demographics
- The implications for policy, education and patient care
Date: 10 February 2026 | 17:00 CET
Be part of shaping how we navigate this emerging frontier in Reproductive Genetics.
