'Marked' Mom Births Clean Baby. A woman with a gene that causes early-onset Alzheimer's has her eggs screened in a lab, then gives birth to a baby free of the defect. [Wired News]


Given: That a woman wants to reproduce, but there is a great likelyhood that her offspring will have a disease that will be costly both to the child, and to society, as we have an obligation to take care of our own.
Question: Should she be aided thus, if we know that with current treatment the mother will not be able to care for the baby, though the baby will be born free of this debilitating disease.
