Is there an explanation for the layperson why this is new and significant?

Nobody has dared to before. As for what embryo selection is, I don't think the idea is that hard to understand but you could start here maybe: https://www.gwern.net/Embryo-selection … ?

I thought we already did some screening when doing IVF? Are these guys screening for more things than previously? Or lower price point? Or allowing people to do it without having to go through hospital-industrial complex?

𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘺 limited costly screening. Roughly along the lines of 'look in the microscope and see if there are too many chromosomes'. PGD has also been a thing for like a decade now, but very limited, along the lines of 'charge $2000 to look for a single mutation like Huntington's'.
