Preimplantation genetic diagnosis offers the possibility of screening and terminating embryos with severe and life-threatening disabilities. This article argues that under certain conditions, the use of this technology is not merely desirable as a means to reduce human suffering but also an ethically required duty of a parent to a potential child.
植入前基因诊断提供了筛查和终止患有严重和危及生命残疾的胚胎的可能性。本文认为，在某些情况下，使用这项技术不仅作为减少人类痛苦的手段是可取的，而且是父母对潜在子女在伦理上应尽的责任。
