    Should I be able to use CRISPR to keep my baby from being born with Downs?

    Yes, absolutely yes. Downs children are wonderful, there’s one in my family, but I can say without hesitation that both he and his parents would have used a treatment like this if it was available. He’s 30 now and he himself would choose to do it if it was available.

    What does bodily autonomy mean for a fetus?

    Doesn’t matter.
