This chapter explores the regulation of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) in New Zealand. The author discusses New Zealand’s history of legislative intervention in human-assisted reproduction and research, with a particular focus upon the Human Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2004. The author concludes that there is an ambivalence displayed towards reproductive liberty in New Zealand and the value of reproductive liberty has been, and continues to be, subsumed within a flawed assumption of the legitimacy of state intervention in reproduction.
