I mostly agree with your first point, but is there not a chance for more serious disease to be detected? In which case specialized preventative care is the best path forward? There is definitely something to be said about staying ignorant of these, however.

I don't think people who are highly susceptible to birthing malformed children should have children either. Genetic testing helps figure out if you might be in that group.

Yes, I can agree with you, did not think of that and it seems to be a perfectly valid motive.

Still, I wonder: who would fall in the "highly susceptible" category? Wouldn't these people need to be tested prior to actually knowing they should be tested? (what would push someone to be tested for susceptibility of birthing malformed children before being tested?)
