i agree
i think in this case, its quite easy to test for this gene and know the probability of person X and person Y getting together and having a child that will have this disease.
but... can you tell them its not the will of God? does the state have the right to say "god isn't doing this to you... you are doing this to you" - basically they defy many laws under the broad umbrella of religion.

"The count of children in custody rose again Friday after CPS determined that 25 girls who claimed to be adults are actually minors, said spokesman Chris
Van Deusen. That group may overlap with the 20 listed in the court document as pregnant or as mothers, he said.
"The only thing we can say is we're aware of 20 young girls who became pregnant when they were between the ages of 13 and 16," Van Deusen said. "That's not to say that there are 20 now, but at the time they conceived they were 13, 14, 15, or 16. "That establishes that there was some sexual abuse here," he said."
