people disagree with embryo screening because after finding out if their embryo has a genetic disorder (e.g cystic fibrosis or Huntington's disease) they may wish to abort it. the procedure may also cause possible harm to the mother or child.
Involves the removal/destruction of an embryo's allele or even the embryo itself. May go against religous groups as all humans are seen the same in the eyes of God.
It reduces the posibility of a child haveing a poor quality of life.
Embryo screening checks an embryo to see if it's carrying any alleles for a genetic disease (e.g. Huntington's disease or cystic fibrosis) so that the parents would know how likely it would be for their offspring to have a genetic disease. And the reason this is often perceived as a bad thing is due to the choice the would be parents would then make. They would be deciding wether to have a termination because of the genetic disorder. Of course the parents could potentially want to know just to plan the future and an ethically challenging situation would not occur.
Positive: Screening can identify embryos that will develop severe genetic diseases, thus allowing doctors and parents to choose a course of treatment or to terminate the pregnancy. Negative: The power to screen embryos may result in people screening for relatively trivial things or in extreme cases, eugenic selection of only embryos possessed of specific traits.
The advantages of embryo screening are that after the procedure parents find out if their child/ embryo has a allele for a genetic disorder / disease or if they actually have the disease. Embryo screening is also beneficial because it allows parent to plan the future of their child.

When parents find out that the embryo has some sort of genectic disorder they may destroy the embryo rather thab raise the child with a disorder

Screening for what? They pull blood for screening at the time of the birth.

If u have an embryo in u u r already pregnant, idiot
A pregnancy test after embryo transfer can be done as soon as two weeks after the transfer and yield accurate results.
