Advanced reproductive technologies have afforded us access to human preembryos, allowing the possibility of preimplantation genetic diagnosis of certain genetic diseases. This paper thoroughly reviews both the micro-manipulation and molecular biologic aspects of this new and exciting branch of medicine. In addition, some of the moral and ethical considerations relating to preembryo genetic diagnosis are discussed.
