Well...I don't have a moral issue with it. Unlike removing the gene for other things (Downs, hearing loss, etc.), no one would oppose eradicating BC. However, this procedure only guaranteed that the baby born would not have the BC GENE. Who is to say that baby won't have breast cancer anyway?

I can understand this family's heartbreak with regard to all of their other family members who have had BC. But...I know my Mom wouldn't want to go back and not have had me.

I haven't been tested for the genes, but I know that if I am carrier, I wouldn't have wanted Cooper to not have been born should he be a carrier. In my case, if I am a carrier, it is most likely on my father's side (no one on my mother's side in the last 60 years has had BC--before that, who knows?). My PGM died of pancreatic cancer, but had BC before that (she was almost 70 when she died). There are no aunts on that side, only my Daddy and an uncle.

Just my thoughts.

Take care,
