Selective breeding in a sense of "selecting the zygote" for ideal outcome. Aka designer babies. This was referred to as "selective breeding" in the press when it came out. A misnomer in that selective breeding has meant selective pairing of parents for at least a century before this article was written.
Note: this is also a company in China, not "China" although the distinction is sometimes muddled they certainly aren't regulating it like it has been in the West. Also, with the only one child policy that was recently lifted it is easy to confuse oppressive breeding requirements in China.
