1) PGD and PGS are genetic testing techniques used prior to embryo transfer in IVF treatment. PGD screens for known genetic disorders while PGS screens for chromosome abnormalities. 2) While PGD has clear benefits when used appropriately, the effectiveness of routine PGS is questionable as it may reduce pregnancy rates. Techniques like day 3 biopsy have limitations due to mosaicism. 3) Extensive counseling is important given technical limitations and risks of erroneous results. Not all genetic issues can be detected and treatment has biological limits. Caution is needed against unnecessary "indication creep".
