You know, infuriating and a shameful betrayal though the BBC and other media's misreporting of the Sandie Peggie judgment is, it also doesn't really matter.
What matters is the judgment which lawyers will read, use to advise their clients, and inclusion will be the winner.

Being able to recognise I am autistic and non-binary helped me make sense of who I am. It allows me to recognise why my brain works the way it does, why I feel the way I do. Not being able to do that left scars, mental and physical. It's a good thing being able to have a frame for your life. 1/

What annoys me is that they conflate screening with treatment. Having a PSA test, an MRI, or even a finger up the bum, does NOT cause incontinence or erectile dysfunction, but it will tell you if you have PC. Only after that do you agree treatment with the consultant.

British fertility clinics raise scientific and ethical objections over patients sending embryos’ genetic data abroad for analysis

What is polygenic embryo screening in IVF and does it work?
Couples undergoing IVF in the UK are exploiting an apparent legal loophole to rank their embryos based on genetic predictions of IQ, height and health, the Guardian has learned.
The controversial screening technique, which scores embryos based on their DNA, is not permitted at UK fertility clinics and critics have raised scientific and ethical objections, saying the method is unproven. But under data protection laws, patients can – and in some cases have – demanded their embryos’ raw genetic data and sent it abroad for analysis in an effort to have smarter, healthier children.
