This week, a company unveiled a new product that allows parents to screen embryos created through IVF by projected IQ, height, eye color, and hundreds of other traits before deciding which to implant and which to discard

New product allows parents to screen embryos created through IVF by projected IQ, height, eye color, and other traits.

Frida Ghitis : Neo-eugenics is making a comeback in our time thanks to new branding and new technology.

She says it's nothing more than a hi-tech form of eugenics — screening the unborn for “desirable” traits like IQ and snuffing out those deemed undesirable or unfit.

Ghitis asks: What if parents simply want to rid their family tree of what they consider to be low-IQs and low-term filch?.

Frida Ghitis: Silicon Valley is increasingly populated by techies working on eugenics technologies.

She says tech entrepreneurs like Noor Siddiqui seem to have a hard time grasping the moral dilemma they’re creating.

Ghitis says it’s doesn’t take much to see how these technologies could usher in neo-eugenic regime.

She asks: How mendacious and anti-human their worldview is?.

The unborn child is ensouled, unique, precious in the sight of God, says Frida Ghitis .

Ghitis: If people like Sadeghi and Siddiqui have their way, there’s no end to the parade of real-life horrors that they will produce in the name of “reducing suffering”.
