"Soon it will be a sin for parents to have a child which carries the heavy burden of genetic disease." - Bob Edwards

Point taken. I had thought about bringing that aspect up in my previous posting, but decided against it because I'm wordy enough as it is.

I do generally agree with Mr. Edwards, but I feel there is a very fine line between elimination of genetic diseases and eugenics (if I may be so bold). If that line were to be crossed, there'd be no turning back.
