Dubai Doctor Recommends Premarital Genetic Testing
LatestIn celebration (?) of International Rare Diseases Day, a doctor in the UAE has recommended that couples get tested for genetic disorders before marriage in order to prevent producing babies that have rare and expensive conditions. While from a logical standpoint this makes sense, as some would argue that it’s irresponsible for couples with debilitating genetic conditions to pass on those genes, on the other hand, this reeks of proto-eugenics.
