Concrete example: Many people (about 1 in 400*) have BRAC1 or BRAC2 genetic markers that leave them with higher likelihood to develop certain cancers. I don't see that as justification for eliminating those gene lines from the human genetic diversity. We did prenatal testing. We didn't do it for no reason and there were test outcomes that would have led us to terminate the pregnancy. Elevated risk of breast cancer would not be among them. * - Among Ashkenazi, the rate is about 10 times higher. |
