Embryo selection is a potential emerging technology and is the subject of several previous Metaculus questions and a notebook.

In a 2020 Pew survey, Indians were more open to "changing a baby's characteristics" to improve intelligence than any other population surveyed, and in fact were the only population surveyed where a majority of the population agreed with this view. Embryo selection through IVF has been used in India as a fertility treatment. Much like in China, India bans embryo selection for gender out of fear that there would be disproportionate selection for men. Nonetheless, embryo selection against diseases is legal and practiced. India boasts a thriving technology sector. Though it is still a developing country, its economy is growing quickly.
