But what about all the risks of other diseases that they haven't told you about? And is it really worth starting down this slippery slope for a promise of security?
Exactly. It's a slippery slope from abortion in some cases to abortion of diseased babies to picking an embryo and aborting the rest. All of it is bad and it was only in the last few generations that any of these became acceptable in countries with ethical standards.
No, it's not. Birthing a baby with severe genetic defects that either ends up dying shortly after being born or becoming a helpless human suffering for all of its life is not something desirable.
I mean heck, If I could guarantee that my son would not be at risk to the cancers and heart problems that run in my family, I'd take it.

They’ve been screening for and aborting (or atleast pressuring the mother to) Down’s syndrome babies for like 30+ years now.
