I disagree, but not strongly. I think potential parents need to understand the risks they take by reproducing. Their kid might come out completely healthy with no signs of a disability. On the other hand, the kid could be so sick that he/she dies within a matter of weeks or lives such a miserable life because they can't function. Of course, those are the extreme ends of possibility . . . but something that must be considered.

Fortunately, our understanding of the human body is growing rapidly each year, and we can now improve the lives of those who are disabled. Maybe one of these days, we'll actually be able to reverse the genetic defects all together.

Casey-homosexuality is sorta a bit of both. People are genetically predisposed towards it, but 'nurture' can trigger it.
