What is "reprogenetics"

n. (context biology genetics English) The use of genetics in reproduction, especially in order to choose traits in an offspring or to minimize the risk of genetic disease.

Reprogenetics is the use of reproductive and genetic technologies to select and genetically modify embryos with germinal choice technology for the purpose of human enhancement. However, a report by the Hastings Center broadly defined reprogenetics as any "creation, use, manipulation, or storage of gametes or embryos." The term was coined by Lee M. Silver, a professor of molecular biology at Princeton University, in his 1997 book Remaking Eden.
