Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a technique used to test the genetic abnormalities of an embryo through in vitro fertilization (520). With PGD‚ those embryos with genetic defects (in this case those embryos with a deaf gene) are rejected while those that are mutation free are kept to be implanted into the mother (520). There is controversy
