Full timeline: China prenatal testing for birth defects; research in alleles correlated with intelilgence

| 2003 || || BGI Shenzhen, in China, collects DNA samples from 2,000 of the world's smartest people. The screening includes sending a CV, a list of publications, standardized-test scores, where one went to college, etc. They sequence the entire genomes and attempt to identify the alleles which correlate with intelligence. This could lead to embryo screening increasing intelligence by 5 to 15 IQ points.<ref name="ChinaScreening"/>

| 2008 || January || Researchers at the company Stemagen announce that they successfully created the first five mature human embryos using SCNT. Each embryo was created by taking a nucleus from a skin cell (donated by Wood and a colleague) and inserting it into a human egg from which the nucleus had been removed. The embryos would develop only to the blastocyst stage.<ref>Rick Weiss for the Washington Post January 18, 2008 [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/17/AR2008011700324.html?hpid=topnews Mature Human Embryos Created From Adult Skin Cells]</ref><ref name="pmid18202077">{{cite journal |vauthors=French AJ, Adams CA, Anderson LS, Kitchen JR, Hughes MR, Wood SH | title = Development of human cloned blastocysts following somatic cell nuclear transfer with adult fibroblasts | journal = Stem Cells | volume = 26 | issue = 2 | pages = 485–93 | year = 2008 | pmid = 18202077 | doi = 10.1634/stemcells.2007-0252 }}</ref>
