As reported by Wall Street Journal, tech futurists and parents are spending up to $50,000 for a new genetic testing service, aiming to screen embryos for IQ.
Different start-ups including Nucleus Genomics and Herasight have started to publicly offer IQ evaluations based on genetic tests, helping people to choose smart embryos for in vitro fertilization.
Elon Musk also expressed his eagerness in the idea of smart babies.
In the Bay Area, the testing is costing high according to surging popularity. At Nucleus and Herasight, the price is around $6,000 and $50,000 respectively.
According to the National Institutes of Health, Polygenic embryo screening (PES) is a service that screens embryos for complex conditions, traits and risks, disorders, and intelligence quotient and is currently available commercially.
