do you think someone who has a genetic disorder.. has the right to be able to decide if their children should or should not have their diease.. ie by either doing prental testing.. and aborting any fetus that have the diease...
or .. use the petri dish method.. and only put un affected eggs and sperms together..

ICK! You want to murder a baby just because it has a genetic disorder!!!
I'm glad I was born before people started thinking like this!!

This question really explores people's morals....
I'd get myself and my partner genetically screened to find out what we might possibly have that could transfer to the child. If there was a huge probability, I'd use the petri dish method. If there was a small chance that my baby might have some complication, I'd go the natural route and I would not abort.
The only reason I would abort the fetus is if the baby were going to die at birth. Some genetic anomalies cause death right after. I take care of sick and dying infants/children for my clinical rotation as a nurse and watch the pain and suffering and expenses parents and families go through for their baby to live one month and then die. It just seems better to abort the child.

In my opinion, abortion should not be "allowed" in nearly any case, excepting only impossible cases, such as ectopic pregnancies, in which case, if carried through, both the mother and baby WILL die. I think it's cruel to cut off an innocent human's existence just because they've inherited a genetic disorder from their parents. But that's just my opinion...
But there is no problem with doing an in vitro fertilization, using only healthy eggs and sperm--if they can tell that in that stage.

After what I have seen the hell that happens with birth defects and genetic disorders I think they have the right to decide.
Prenatal testing and aborting their fetus, I believe in a right to choose. I won't say wehter I'm for it or not.
But I am all for creating the baby in the test tube.

That is such a loaded question that the only fair way to respond is to re ask it of you.
If you knew that your your next (as yet unconceived) child was to be born with such a terrible condition as to virtually guarantee that he/she would spend his entire life incapacitated and/or in terrible pain; and yet at the same time you were offered a simple and non-lethal (remember the child is not yet conceived - so the right-to-life issue is not raised) way to eliminate this problem totally and completely.
Would YOU exercise this option ?
What kind of person would not?

I say do it the natural way, and let the Good Lord above decide.
