Cures for most genetic diseases are still decades or even centuries away. We know that most disability is not the result of genetic causes. Most disabilities and diseases are the result of poverty and hunger, accidents, war, virus and bacteria. We should ask if it makes any sense to spend so much money on genetic science when reducing most disability and disease could come from fair sharing of medical and economic resources. But in the U.S., healthcare is a big industry.
Genetic science is well-funded and there are new genetic discoveries every day.
Many women are being pressured to use these tests to find out if their unborn baby might have a genetic condition. Then they are encouraged or forced to have an abortion to avoid a baby that would become a disabled person. This is a high-technology version of disability discrimination. We want to make sure that all women understand that they can refuse to have these tests if they don't want them. We want to make sure that no doctors or insurance companies or governments are forcing women to use tests and then forcing them to have abortions if they don't want to.
