Genetic interventions and correction of such disabilities….

It would also be the case that with respect to genetic interventions that the correction of such disabilities prior to implantation would also be acceptable and in fact should be carried out. The rights expressed earlier of persons to choose to have as little medical intervention as possible in the conception and birth of their child would be overridden in this scenario by the right to an open future of the child that would be produced..
