If I had some horrible genetic disease that I could pass onto my children, I wouldn't have children. Period.
To think that this will "solve" a problem is ego. It could create a much worse situation.
To argue kids should be experimented on because of polio vaccines in the past is a twisted leap in logic. At that rate, why not bring back human sacrifice and bloodletting? AND, it was Simian DNA in some of those vaccines that screwed up recipients. That DNA was found in tumors decades after the children had gotten those vaccines.
Children are not meant to be experiments, regardless of what Godless scientists proclaim.
This "Save the Children" propaganda is how they sell bio-engineering.
This is not an experiment on a ‘kid’. The kid doesn’t exist until the end of the process, and it has already given children a chance at a healthy life.
And sometimes people might not know for sure if their child will or will not be born with a genetic disease. They only know there’s a chance.
In the future, genetic engineering is predicted to treat cancer, cystic fibrosis, multiple dystrophy and a host of other diseases. It will be a long time before we can truly know the long term effects if any; but I doubt many people suffering from those will refuse treatment for themselves or their children.
