Wow, this new genetic testing method is so amazing! It will surely help ease the minds of couples planning to have a child but afraid to do so since they are carriers of genetic diseases. But with this new method, I think the couples will no longer have a problem in conceiving. I think the Catholic church will be against this, though. Since the scientists are "playing God".
