Unnatural Selection: Couples May Soon Have Opportunity to Weed Out 'Defective' Embryos
CLINICS could soon be screening embryos for genes that carry a predisposition to breast cancer and other tumours.Could Eugenics rear it's ugly head again? This is certainly eerily similar to the principles (if not the practices) of one Adolph Hitler, is it not?
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) announced yesterday that it is to consult the public about letting couples choose embryos free from genetic defects.(Full story here.)

I'm hesitant to read the article for fear of what I might find.
David, did you hear the Focus on the Family discussion on embryo stem cell research and Dr. Dobson's Nazi remark?
Never fear, Mark.
No, I didn't catch that.
I sent you an email of the Focus on the Family subject on embryo stem cell research.
In short, Dr. Dobson made a comment referencing the treatment of blastocysts (sp) as similar research the Nazis did. As we know, Dr. Dobson is strongly pro-life and adamantly against embryo stem cell research.
