ABSTRACT
Medically assisted reproduction separates, on the one hand, sexuality from procreation, and on the other, procreation from gestation. Thus, it isolates procreation as such. From this results the possibility of a conjunction between procreation and prediction. This may be at the level of the choice of gametes used for conception, or by the selection of the zygote or the embryo through pre-implantation genetic screening. Here we find our third vertiginous point: the vertigo of destiny; of a destiny we would like to have mastery over, a destiny that is programmed, a destiny upon which we can act through prediction—a prediction that is acted upon at the point of procreation.
