Gonorrhea screening means testing patients at risk even if they don't have symptoms. Typically this is done with a painless urine test, or a vaginal, anal, or throat swab, depending on the patient's sex practices.

What would a Eugenicist say about Down syndrome?

Eugenics is the science (or perhaps the philosophy) of proactively guiding the development of the human genome. This can take the form of a whole spectrum of activities, from genetic testing and counseling of couples, to even selective termination of pregnancies. Down's syndrome is among the more easily identified genetic disorders; simple genetic testing can detect it readily, since sufferers have an extra 47th chromosome, whereas all other humans (ranging from normalcy to even catastrophically disordered) will only have 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs. A Eugenicist would likely counsel couples with a history of genetic abnormalities to consider alternate means of conception, for example in-vitro fertilization using a donor egg or sperm, as appropriate, to eliminate the genome of a parent with a history of such defects. Couples with equally high risk factors for such genetic abnormalities may be counseled to adopt or conceive using others' gametes entirely. A Eugenicist, depending on their particular philosophical leaning, may even counsel the termination of a pregnancy if testing reveals Down's Syndrome or another birth defect.
