The market for polygenic embryo screening is booming in the USA. This allows embryos to be tested for diseases. And: A US corporation is disputing oil production rights with Greenland.
Greenland Energy, a US company, plans to extract oil from the Jameson-Land-Becken in Greenland, but has not yet obtained the necessary permit from the Greenlandic government. Despite this, the company shipped camp equipment to the Nerlerit Inaat port in late July.
