Pete,
You are, of course, quite right in what you've replied below -- which I
read after writing my own reply to Steve's link.
I have, in fact, devoted a whole chapter of a book ("A Species in the
Making") to what you say about bad genes being culled. The book will be
published in a few weeks as a paperback in India and an e-book more widely.
If you or any FWer would like a preview of the chapter concerned then I'd
be happy to send it if requested.
Keith

Seems to me this is the same article you posted before, but from a
different website. At any rate, we are at a brief moment of genomic
instability, where natural selection is largely suspended, but conscious
intercession, its logical successor, has not yet gotten up to speed.
I wouldn't worry about it. Every mother will want the best designer
baby knowledge can buy. Bad genes will be culled, excised, or replaced,
as a matter of course in future conceptions.
Pete
