Genetic Testing

geneself2r would want genetic test done on fetus
Text of this Question or Item
Today, tests are being developed that make it possible to detect serious 
genetic defects before a baby is born. But so far, it is impossible either to 
treat
or to correct most of them. If (you were pregnant/you were expecting a 
child/your partner were pregnant), would you want (the pregnant woman/her) to 
have
a test to find out if the baby has any serious genetic defects?
