Criticism
ZIFT, like IVF, is considered controversialTemplate:By whom (Probably by the general public, but this is a guess) because it makes preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) possible, which allows potential parents to select the genetic makeup of their child prior to its implantation. Despite fears about possible negative social implications of PGD (such as those depicted in the dystopian science fiction film Gattaca), PGD is still commonly practiced alongside IVF.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
“To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
