Eugenics and the Autism Prenatal Test
It's now possible to test for autism in your unborn baby. A blood test, so far with a very limited availability, can be used to scan the fetus for possible autism genes. So the question is: if you knew, would you do it?
Before you start arguing for the parents' right to choose, please have a look at this site. I won't force you to read all of it, but at least consider if, given the choice, you'd have allowed Bill Gates to be born. Yeah, I know; I'm a Linux user myself, and a question such as this, even if it is rhetorical, is almost impossible to resist.
Eugenics, anyone?
