The efficiency and reliability of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for aneuploidy is closely linked to the stage at which eggs or embryos are biopsied, the finesse with which the procedures are applied, the number of cells removed with respect to developmental stage, and the number of chromosomes assessed. Not only do the actual PGD procedure and the selected patient population play roles in the final success of the PGD test, but the impact of biopsy may adversely affect outcome dependent on the general circumstances in which a given IVF laboratory operates. In other words, biopsy of the cleaved embryo may in some instances alter the survival negatively even if only one cell is removed. It is dependent on conditions of manipulation—which vary widely from laboratory to laboratory—and embryo culture—which varies even more!—but it certainly is affected disproportionately when more than one cell is removed. Reports arguing the success of PGD often lack a greater comprehension of patient and laboratory differences and candour when describing the whole picture; they fail to consider the intricate balance between patient care, application of technology and clinic-related differences. It is in this context that we would like to comment on the study of Staessen et al.(2004). This study describes the effect of PGD by biopsying
