Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) in a European context.
This paper reviews the main aspects of the ethical and legal stance on preimplantation genetic diagnosis taken in Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Each of the four countries has taken a different line. Germany has taken a prohibitive approach, while France has a cautious regulatory system and the UK a liberal one. The Netherlands does not yet have legislation which applies directory to PGD.
