I was trying not to be drawn into this, but I think 'everyone' is appropriate, in this case - the "nobody getting hurt" being the key phrase..
I think Graham was replying to the question about his "libertarian" ethos, rather than the absolute question posed by the thread??
I have already offered an opinion that the rejection of fertilised eggs during IVF is my concern - I feel it does constitute 'getting hurt' for a potential life to be destroyed.
So, the 'extra' screening for a desired characteristic, can't be worse than that - if you see what I mean.
- so I'm not arguing, but who is going to judge which is immature & which is just driven by the 'biological clock', you & I both have children, we can't imagine what it is like to want a child & not be able to have one - or to know that to have one has a probability of that child being disabled.
this is one of those subjects that can only be dealt with on an individual basis, in my opinion
