Until recently genetic testing of prospective parents has checked only for life-threatening illnesses like cystic fibrosis and Tay-Sachs. But, thanks to a new test, couples can check if they are at risk of passing down even more genetic problems-making it possible for future parents to use in vitro fertilization with genetic testing of the embryos, to avoid passing on incurable and sometimes fatal diseases. Join guest host Beth Weinhouse, Conceive's editorial director, as she talks with Dr. Laurence A. Jacobs, M.D. of Fertility Centers if Illinois about this groundbreaking tool, and what is means for the health of future generations. Original Air Date: 2.10.10
