Sequencing the Unborn

sciencehabit writes "What if you could read much of your child's medical future while it was still in the womb? Taking a major step toward that goal, one fraught with therapeutic potential and ethical questions, scientists have now accurately predicted almost the whole genome of an unborn child by sequencing DNA from the mother's blood and DNA from the father's saliva (abstract)."

Girl, retard.... what's the difference? Once you're killing the unborn and don't have a problem with it, the reason why you do it shouldn't matter at all. If I don't get a blond-hair, blue-eyed boy, then it's the glue factory fot that horse.
