C) If the government has access to our DNA, they can decide what defects preclude reproduction and create new laws.
D) If all potential parents get genetic screening, those found to have defective genes could be prohibited from reproducing.
E) If all parents are screened for genetic defects, their genes can be fixed before they try to have children.
