I wasn't refering to you.cardaway said:I tried to be clear that I'm talking about serious birth defects, not simple issues with standard corrections like 20/20 vision.
It's likely that at least some of the research being done to cure birth defects will result in gene therapy. If people feel that we shouldn't go that route, should those scientists stop right now and put the time and money towards something else? I'm no expert, but I have to believe that is the only way we can get rid of some of the worst birth defects.
I am all for gene therapy. No reason to not try to fix a problem of a person already here, but I would not intentionally bring a child into this world with that defect.
