This episode of the Progress Educational Trust (PET) podcast discusses longstanding controversies surrounding PGT-A (preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy) – an 'add-on' to IVF treatment whose use has been the subject of lively debate for the past 25 years.

The discussion – which originally took place at the PET Annual Conference – is introduced by Sarah Norcross (Director of PET) and chaired by Dr Deborah Cohen (science writer and broadcaster), with contributions from:

⚫ Professor Karen Sermon (former Chair of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology)

⚫ Dr Justin Chu (Medical Director of TFP Oxford Fertility)

⚫ James Lawford Davies (Partner at LDMH Partners)

⚫ Professor Manuela Perrotta (Leader of the Remaking Fertility initiative)

PET is grateful to Remaking Fertility – an initiative based at Queen Mary University of London – for supporting this discussion.

PET is also grateful to Jon Nicoll, who created the opening and closing music for its podcast.
