In the balance - an ethics card sort

Some people have concerns about the use of technology to choose the genes of babies (PGD). Other people are pleased about it and feel it will benefit many families.

Are you concerned about what this technology may pave the way to in the future? Or are you pleased that people with serious inherited diseases in their family that can now be given the chance to have healthy children?

This card sort gives you a chance to consider pros and cons of PGD and decide for yourself which aspects concern or please you most. You read each statement you decide whether it concerns you, if you think it is not important or if you think it is a benefit.

Like a diamond nine, this can be done in small groups: by talking amongst themselves, people can realise what values they think are important, and also see that other people have different values.
