Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Orchid is a company that lets parents genetically test embryos before pregnancy. Parents can choose their future baby for as little as $2,500. This article features a transcript of an interview with the company's founder, where they debate the scientific, moral, and ethical implications of designing a 'healthy' child and what we lose in separating reproduction from sex. With Orchid's technology, parents in the future will not have to roll the dice with their child's health.
