Imke (27) and Siem (28) want to get pregnant through embryo selection: “We can eradicate a disease with this, so why shouldn’t we do it?”

Imke (27) and Siem (28) opted for such a route after the latter was diagnosed with a heart defect. But that didn’t go without a hitch. The couple from Geel explains how such an embryo selection works and how long the process has already taken for them. “At a certain point the doubts came: shouldn’t we just let nature take its course?”
