Why should we allow self appointed "biomedical ethicists" to dictate what interventions we can use? The medical industry seems to be largely divided into two camps: Camp A would happily sell allergy medication that triples your risk of diabetes, and Camp B would rather ten thousand terminal patients die in agony than kill a hundred of them with medication that cured the rest. It's simply the momentum of the world we live in. It's perfectly legal for a 45 year old woman to get pregnant by an elderly man, then chainsmoke, take caffeine pills, and get shitfaced every day of her pregnancy and create a profoundly disadvantaged baby whose life will be full of hardship. They can even do it on purpose if they want. The powers-that-be don't give a damn about human happiness or suffering; they just want to make sure it isn't them who gets blamed.
