My son's mother and I recently went through this decision. Of course, you're making sure that all your decisions are selfless and that $ is no object when it comes to the little one soon to arrive on the scene. But the cost . . . We figured that we're both very healthy people, no offbeat conditions, the four grandparents all lived into their 90s, no incidence of offbeat conditions in the close family . . . and didn't do it. Then, when you get some distance from the situation, it seems pretty crappy of the hospitals / drs to be pushing this on expectant parents. Wonder if there are kickbacks, etc.

You seem to be contradicting yourself.
