> Participants stated that their experiences with PGT-M/SR had been physically, psychologically and practically difficult. Most participants stated partly because of these difficulties, they did not see the added value of knowing risk scores of embryos via PGT-P.
Patients undergoing IVF for PGT-SR, depending on the exact translocation, may have aneuploidy rates of up to 80% (and for PGT-M, 25% or 50% of euploid embryos will be affected)
I suspect many of these couples struggled to get a single successful pregnancy given the math, so the possibility of prioritizing between 1-2 embryos on genetic risk of course sounds like it would add little or no value. But I would hesitate to extrapolate these results to the broader population.

Maybe ask the Guardian for a correction!
