Tay-Sachs screening is done before marriage. All Tay-Sachs trait carriers are descendants of a single 17th century Jewish ancestor. So in that respect, it is a matter of consanguinity.

That's interesting, but using the same standard for consanguinity would have made human reproduction impossible in most communities throughout history, inlcluding today.
But as you point out, Tay-Sachs screening is done before marriage, so it's a bogus excuse for murdering your own children.
