Some interesting ethical questions about this test are here.

The two options are to test also for aneuploidy or to set a grade of development cutoff for transfer. That was there is a second selectioncriteria so the parent never knows if there was no transfer due to the HC or the other criteria Good idea but no.

Isn't it glaringly obvious to the parent if NO embryos are transferred?? But, what if all of the tested embryos have the defect?
