There is no doubt this is going to be an emotive subject. If we could choose to rule out disabilities in our children, is that something we want to be able to do?
Not everyone chooses to have children. Some people are desperate and have difficulty, some like me get them first time round and some others have no plans for kids and get them anyway. But not many will have sat down and thought, I know, what I've always wanted in my life and what would make it complete would be if we could have an autistic child. Or a child who was blind, had Down's Syndrome or an extreme pain disorder? What if you could choose not to have a disabled child?
