Taskforce 9: the application of preimplantation genetic diagnosis for human leukocyte antigen typing of embryos

  Abstract

This 9th statement of the ESHRE Taskforce on Ethics and Law considers ethical questions and specific dilemmas concerning preimplantation genetic diagnosis for human leukocyte antigen typing of embryos. This application is particularly complex because the interests of the sick child needing a transplantation should be balanced against the interests of the future donor child who may result from the technique. It is concluded that, if parents intend to love the child, the creation and use as a donor is not inherently disrespectful.

Keywords: ethics; HLA typing; PGD; transplantation; welfare of the child.
