UK IVF病人非法利用美国公司检查胚胎是否具有智商等特征,绕过英国的禁令。 UK IVF patients illegally use US firms to screen embryos for traits like IQ, bypassing UK bans.

2025年,英国IVF病人绕过法律禁令,向Herasight等美国公司发送胚胎遗传数据,进行多基因筛查,预测智商和疾病风险等特征,尽管联合王国法律禁止这种做法。 In 2025, UK IVF patients are circumventing legal bans by sending embryo genetic data to US firms like Herasight for polygenic screening, which predicts traits such as IQ and disease risk, despite the practice being prohibited under UK law. 虽然诊所不能合法使用或认可结果,但患者正在从标准测试中获取原始遗传数据,在国外选择胚胎,引起对准确性、不平等和意外后果的道德关切。 Though clinics cannot legally use or endorse the results, patients are accessing raw genetic data from standard tests and using it abroad to select embryos, raising ethical concerns over accuracy, inequality, and unintended consequences. 人类肥料化和胚胎管理局认为筛查是非法的,但执行并不明确,因为病人通过未经证实的遗传预测追求更好的结果。 The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority maintains the screening is unlawful, but enforcement is unclear as patients pursue enhanced outcomes through unproven genetic predictions.
