Embryo Testing

This week's blog topic challenged me a lot. In terms of testing Embryo's for certain diseases I do believe that it depends on the fatality percentage of the unborn child. The question is: Is it worth discarding a human life in the early stages of development if the chances are slim for certain diseases? I think the use of this technology could be a positive if it will either save the mother or the baby. On the other hand, I think it is completely superficial to use it to choose eye color and other characteristics. My belief is that life starts at conception so destroying embryos is not an option for me. I would hope that if my unborn baby had a chance of surviving, I would give it that chance. In my belief, we should not be playing God.
