I don’t think we understand these subtle mental disorders well enough for this kind of absolute decision-making. What is ADHD, really?

“Your child has an extra chromosome and will probably never live independently” feels deeply different than “your child has a gene variant that subtly affects their brain in ways that make it harder to focus in certain circumstances, and also probably in dozens of other ways that we don’t understand, and also many very successful people have this variant and it’s possible it even contributed to their success”. A society that routinely aborts children in the second case is starting to tilt into wild dystopia.

Not that we’ve identified such a gene, as far as I know.
