Excellent video presentation by world-renowned American Fertility Specialist Dr. Norbert Gleicher (MD , FACOG, FACS), on the pifalls and downsides of preimplantation genetic screening (PGS or PGT-A).
In his speech, Dr. Norbert Gleicher unabashedly calls PGS / PGT-A BAD MEDICINE :
Some abnormal embryos tested by PGS / PGT-A can "self-correct", and give rise to normal healthy births !

Self-correction and the potential of mosaic embryos to implant

Are mosaic embryos the 'dark horse' of IVF?
Not every embryo contains 46 perfect chromosomes. Some have more, others have fewer. The result is a common abnormality known as aneuploidy, which occurs in as many as 80 percent of human embryos.
Genetic testing IVF embryos doesn’t improve the chance of a baby
Women aged over 35 are sometimes offered genetic testing of their IVF embryos to rule out abnormalities. But it’s expensive and doesn’t increase their chance of a baby. In fact, it could reduce it.

Abnormal cells in early-stage embryos might not preclude IVF success
The presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in the genetic profile of early-stage embryos may be far more common - and potentially less threatening - during normal human development than is currently appreciated, according to new research from biologists.

Abnormal cells in embryos might not prevent IVF success
Study shows that chromosomal abnormalities in embryos may be more common than previously thought, may lead to development of healthy babies during IVF

The transfer of chromosomally 'abnormal' embryos can still result in pregnancy in IVF: New study helps resolve controversy over self-correcting 'mosaic' embryos
IVF embryos whose cells have mixed chromosomal profiles -- one normal, another abnormal -- still have the potential to implant in the uterus and become a healthy pregnancy, according to a new study.
