Episode What if you could read the DNA of your future child? | Noor Siddiqui
For all of human history, a baby's DNA was determined by chance at conception: the so-called genetic lottery. "That era is over," says Noor Siddiqui, whose company builds screening tools to read the whole genome of embryos in an effort to give parents more genetic information than standard IVF. She makes the case that this kind of technology helps families understand and reduce health risks, raising the question: How much should we know about our children's DNA before birth? (Followed by a brief Q&A with TED’s vision steward Sal Khan)
