Genetic tests could prevent those like me being born at all
Genetic tests could prevent those like me being born at all - Telegraph: "I have multiple sclerosis, which, though it has a genetic component, is not a single-gene disease and so cannot be detected in DNA. But just suppose that it could be. It is easy to understand how, under a policy that allowed abortion for any genetic defect, someone like me would have been aborted. And yet, I certainly think I have had, and still have, a life worth living, and I can’t accept that a diagnosis that a foetus would develop MS could be grounds for terminating it."
