Religious Considerations:

Religious considerations may factor into your decision to use PGD. Religious traditions hold varying positions on the acceptability of PGD, and different views about the moral status of an embryo. However, within each religious denomination, there are a range of views. If religious considerations are important to you, you may want to consult with a religious leader (e.g., Rabbi, Priest, Imam) to learn more about how these issues are addressed within your faith.

You may want to consider:

• Ask a Rabbi, Priest, Imam, or other religious leader for advice
• Turn to a member from your community you can trust
• Discuss your beliefs with a psychologist or genetic counselor
