The design is perfect, imperfections come only when the design is not followed for some known or unknow reason.

Genetic deformalities are not a new phenomena. Spontaneous abortions as a result of genetic abnormalities is not new, either. It is hilarious to see how you would fit these two to defend the case of an "Intelligent" designer.

as to those infertile christian couples, they are not practicing what they preach. they are practicing selfishness instead of selfLESSness. Taking in a needy unwanted child as your own is the ultimate act of selflessness. Only caring about perpetuating your genetic line, consequences be damned (creating 10 embryos, implanting only 6, selectively reducing 2-4 to make one viable baby) is the ultimate act of selfISHness, imho.

Since it is your humble opinion, it is best that it remains just that. You have zero right to decide whether certain individuals or couples need to have their chance for lineage terminated, or not.

The ethics are complicated, aren't they?

ethics in an unethical selfish world are totally complicated. Morality however is not. I will live by my morals because they are grounded in the good of society instead of self. Simply stated, what part of thou shall not kill is not ethical? It is easy to see it is immoral to kill a human being, no matter what stage of life it is at. Unethical “ethisits” argue it is ethical to kill some to create one, or heal one, or kill one who’s life is not deemed worth living. This is in complete disagreement with moral teaching. As Ronald Reagan once said, the only ones who argue for abortion are those who were not aborted. Same applies here.
