    Good point well made. In the UK Down’s syndrome is now commonly screened for with an option for the parents to abort and there’s very few people that see a problem with that, is that eugenics?

    Most people would agree “I only want a child with blonde hair” is too far, but as for preventing suffering, as you say, it’s a tough line to draw.
