Question Today, tests are being developed that make it possible to detect serious genetic defects before a baby is born. But so far, it is impossible either to treat or to correct most of them. If (you were pregnant/you were expecting a child/your partner were pregnant), would you want (the pregnant woman/her) to have a test to find out if the baby has any serious genetic defects?
For further details see the official GSS documentation.
