Discuss the issues involved in the genetic testing of embryos, called preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).

After reading the provided articles, discuss the issues involved in the genetic testing of embryos, called preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).
1) Is it unjust to discard fertilized embryos carrying genetically transferred diseases? Is it a form of abortion?
2) Is it unjust if the expense of PGD ($30,000 – $40,000 per cycle) restricts its use to wealthy members of society, so that genetically transferred diseases are only found among the poor, or does fairness require the costs of PGD to be subsidized by our society so it is available to all?
