| Label | Gene test right if for mental disability? Q693 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Question text | There is another way in which couples can try to avoid having a child with a serious medical condition. The woman's eggs are fertilised outside her body with her partner's sperm and genetically tested. Only eggs without the condition are put back, and may then grow into a baby. Suppose it was likely that a couple would have a child with a serious mental disability. Do you think it would be right or not right for them to have this sort of treatment? | ||||||||||||||||||
