The European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) Ethics Task Force sets out a recommended multidisciplinary approach to the application of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). The statement includes consideration of fundamental ethical principles, specific problems in cases of high genetic risk, and PGD for aneuploidy screening, HLA typing and sex selection for non-medical reasons.

Key words: affected embryos/carriers/ESHRE/ethics/PGD

* The external experts involved in the composition of this statement were: A-P.Ferraretti, L.Gianaroli and I.Liebaers. We are also grateful to the members of the PGD Consortium for their helpful comments.
