Disability, gender and the threat to the already disadvantaged

Over the past couple of chapters, I have tried to show that the pro-choice approach to germinal choice technologies poses no credible risk of harm – or at least, no harm that was not outweighed by benefit – to the potential children who are born as a result of those choices. The only credible exception would be those rare cases where prospective parents used GCTs to ensure the birth of a child afflicted with some genetic disorder so dreadful that the subjective quality of life of the child was worse than non-existence.
