Why might parents decide to have genetic testing?
Parents might decide to have genetic testing to determine if either or both of them carry certain genetic traits that could be passed on to their offspring. Some genetic traits will lead to severe birth defects or problematic diseases that could severely impact the quality of their children's lives. If they are indeed carriers of certain traits, they may choose to avoid having children or choose adoption as an alternative. In this way, they can eliminate their particular genetic line and avoid passing the trait on to the next generation.
