DISCUSSION: In this discussion, reflect upon and discuss ONE of the following questions:

Q1: What are the pros and cons of receiving prenatal screening tests? Why might some mothers decide not to have these tests?

Q2: As medical technology continues to improve, a person may have the opportunity to "design" their own baby. Do you believe this is ethical?

Why or why not?

Thanks.
