The excessive ethical issue associated with type 2 PGD/HLA testing is the ethical state of the embryo. There are already a lot of books on this topic, and many books are under consideration.
A set of outliers on the ethical critic's bell curve indicates that life begins with conception [or fertilization]. The opposition group pointed out that since embryos are both human and non-perceiving, they have no moral status and may experience without moral constraints.
The intermediate position confirms that although embryos are not human and not perceptive, they should be a symbol of humanity. This ethical configuration can be described as "a mainstream view of pre-implantation embryos with only limited moral value."
But this view does not mean that any and all forms of experimentation are appropriate. The value of human consideration must come from embryo research because it is considered moral. The purpose of the study is not trivial - this embryo research is morally unreasonable.
Many people worry about creating embryos for purely tooling purposes. It seems that this violates Kant's ban on human-only bans. But the embryo is not human, and Kant's means/purpose is inevitably not applicable to embryos that are produced only by providing HLA-matched stem cells.
In any case, other moral and philosophical reflections and arguments are irrelevant for those who believe that embryo destruction is a murder. For those people, the PGD / HLA test is evil and should be banned.
Many less extreme people may still be worried about creating a living person to destroy it. A rebuttal argument may note that many embryos were created as part of the PGD/HLA testing program. Some healthy embryos in this cohort can be donated to infertile couples, so they can get a net life. Another rebuttal argument relates to value and proportion. Embryo Destruction - Removed from the possibility of gaining any life experience for 9 months - is weighed to save the lives of individuals who have had many years of life experience and have goals, hopes and intentions.
The Type 2 PGD / HLA test has many significant advantages over the Type 1 test. The most important advantage is the need to avoid pregnant fetuses and giving birth to newborns. With type 2 testing, all potential moral difficulties of bringing newborns into the home can be avoided. This ethical dilemma involves a sick parent who will be severely damaged by the ability to make objective choices for the Savior child. This can be completely avoided with Type 2 testing.
Distributive justice issues are generally key issues in all aspects of reproductive genetics and genetic medicine. The cost of both Type 1 and Type 2 PGD / HLA tests is high. In the absence of financial support for the middle and lower socioeconomic class, these procedures will be used exclusively by the rich. Moral and ethical considerations require the equitable distribution of these resources. In Europe, the central government can provide PGD / HLA testing to specific groups. National lotteries can distribute limited funds. In the United States, funding needs to come from private foundations. It is illegal to use federal funds for procedures involving the creation and destruction of embryos.
PGD / HLA testing should be regulated by the government. For example, testing for phenotypic features such as body shape, hair and eye color should be prohibited. The ongoing national campaign should target the functional medicine and science education of citizens.
