What Cristina Vidal has to say about Orchid

“Orchid is revolutionary and divergent. It offers a better future with healthier families. It helps prevent the ten most common diseases in your future child, along with also helping you take advantage of the information to improve your own health. Orchid makes it simple to understand your DNA and the risk of your child inheriting diseases that we often all worry about. It also gives you the option of making a difference by choosing the embryo with the lowest risk of these diseases through IVF.”
