Two new studies have shown that embryos that contain abnormal cells are as likely to become healthy babies than embryos without chromosomal abnormalities.
This means that IVF users will have more embryos available to them and less need to worry about choosing the wrong ones.
IVF clinics visualise the embryos to determine if they are viable and perform genetic tests. This is called pre-implantation.
