"So would you be in favor of testing eggs and sperm before conception?" Yup. Perfectly acceptable. The science to do so doesn't exist yet, though, as this would require a NON-DESTRUCTIVE test that would allow those eggs and sperm to later be united to initiate the conception process successfully, if you are going to accomplish the desired genetic pre-screening.

I expect that to be possible quite soon. I also expect the full scale engineering of human genomes to be quite common within 30 years. At that point there should be no need to destroy human blastospheres for any reason.
