Now how do you start by saying 'I want genetic purity' and end up by saying 'don't want a Hitler wannabe'? Genetic 'puirty' is exactly what Hitler wanted and he got it by means not dissimilar to looking at embryos and choosing which were blond and tall and throwing the others away.


Anyway, screening for genetic diseases: Good - the child is likely to have a better quality of life.
Designer babies: Bad.
Genetic 'purity': Bad. Very, vey bad.
