Choice, autonomy and eugenics: Thoughts on preconception genetic testing and screening

BioNews - Choice, autonomy and eugenics: Thoughts on the HGC's report on preconception genetic testing and screening: "Although prenatal diagnosis will mean that some pregnancies do not continue to term, no couple making this decision would want to be labelled as having rejected a child.
