Sollte eine genetische Untersuchung von Embryonen vor der Implantation unter strengen Auflagen zulässig sein?

AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This vote concerned a constitutional change needed to permit preimplantation genetic testing during IVF. Previously, no more than three embryos could be developed during one treatment cycle, making genetic examination and selection before implantation impractical. The amendment allowed as many embryos to be developed as were medically necessary and created the legal basis for preimplantation testing. Detailed restrictions were governed by a separate implementing law. Supporters argued that testing could help couples avoid passing on serious hereditary diseases. Opponents raised ethical concerns about selecting embryos and feared that the permitted uses could expand over time. Swiss voters approved the constitutional change.
