Obscure Pregnancy Interventions: Much More Than You Wanted to Know
- woliveirajr 5y ago> By this very rough estimate, doing everything in this guide would be a gain equivalent to (not of!) ~2 IQ points. I didn’t include embryo selection in the estimate, because that lowers risk of many serious diseases by a lot, and this is both hard to translate into IQ points - and, if translated into IQ points, would probably overwhelm everything else on here, making everything else look kind of irrelevant. If I understood correctly, doing things will avoid some outcomes that would make you loose IQ points. And that's 2 on average, i.e., if the risk ends up happening to your child, having toxo will have a greater impact than just 2 IQ points
