Summary/Abstract: The article is a follow-up to an online debate On Preimplantation Diagnosis, carried out in October and November 2012 on the website of the Polish Bioethics Society. The point of departure for the debate was furnished by a document entitled The Statement of the Bioethics Committee of the Presidium of the Polish Academy of Sciences no. 2/2012, issued on the 8th of June 2012, on Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis and dissenting opinions reported by several members of the committee. The author refers to the issues in the debate that focus on the internal consistency of the text of the Statement and the possibility of legitimately justifying the list of recommendations contained in it and pointing to the permissible and impermissible ways of accommodating the possibilities offered by preimplantation genetic diagnosis.
