Egg screening

[Privateer]

It was on the news a few months ago.
i found loads of links on google about IVF, I need to know if eggs can be cleaned of other disease.

Other diseases such as...

Ok I have Ataxia, its very dominatly inherited, so any baby would have Ataxia, if the egg was cleaned how good would that be, they coul kill diseases doing that.

What type of ataxia do you have? I presume it's hereditary rather than acquired - have you been genetically tested?

I have SCA 1, so my current kids 11 and 12 might have it, but the doctors will not do blood tests untill they are 16, I'm now divorced, any new mother would not have a child with me to avoid it being born with the Ataxia gene.

in our family we call it the scott disease, so far upto my sister and me every Scott got/has it.
