short answer - depends on how serious the defect is.
In search of objectivity when the problem is subjective

Advanced tests can detect some birth defects early in fetus stsge(3-4 weeks) In case of Early abnormalities detection we should abort the fetus. We shouldn't be emotional as down the line the baby the parents will suffer more raising the baby
Very well thought out answer 👍
Unable to edit comment here in this section and it’s malfunctioning. Leaving it for now. Exasperating
What do you think about appeal to emotion fallacy ?
In some sense yes, but if we take it too extreme it will turn onto eugenics
@alpeshmittal3779
“In some sense [...] turn onto eugenics”
================
Eugenics or not,
the very act of creating children is an act of selfishness on the part of parents.
Not if, WHEN
@@ex.hindu.now.atheistselfishness? To want an offspring 🤔... A turtle lays it's eggs and never comes back, would that be considered selfish just cuz turtle reproduced to continue it's generation?
@@NeKo19113 you're not a turtle. are you?

"selfishness? To want an offspring 🤔... A turtle [...] turtle reproduced to continue it's generation?"
=======================================
1. What selfless, altruistic desire drives homo sapiens to feel that they have a right to produce children? What harm would take place if a particular lineage of homo sapiens ceases to exist?
2. I did not know that you set the standards for homo sapiens on the basis of what turtles-which are practically subservient to their base instincts to eat-sleep-reproduce-do.
Meri bhi 1st ladki ko autism hai lekin 2nd child normal hai

Not at all convinced with the rationale discussed. Here is why -
1. Condition' s cure may be found in future - we can't predict that. there is no data for or against it
2. New born could turn out to be individual with lot of value - the probability of that would be astronomically low when we look at the birth rate and people who turn out have an impact on this world
3. You have 'right to reproduce' - technically correct but is every legal thing morally correct. And is every morally correct thing always remains morally correct?
4. Answer depends on how big probability is - How will you decide what should be the exact percent. E. G. why is 50% ok but not 49%
5. Future generations should decide whether they want to procreate after they have sufficient info - that is just plain escapism. Future gens can also completely ignore the risks and go ahead with baby when they are not ready to handle the consequences. But by leaving the onus with them, you just became an enabler or atleast you didn't take the responsible decision
6. if you are ready to take the responsibility of caring and supporting the child born with the condition, then it's fine - wait what? What abt the child and whether they are ready to have a lead a life with this condition? How can you take a decision about your child's life knowing that they will suffer.
Lastly, I want to give you a scenario, even if there is a small chance that going to a particular school on a particular day will harm your kid for life, will you send your kid to school?
I guess the answer to the original question lies somewhere around "to each his own" but I expected a better logical discussion around things
Also, this is just my opinion. To the caller (if you are reading this) Please don't be swayed by the reasonings for or against. Ultimately it is your call and as great philosopher Salman Khan once said, do whatever you want man 😅
Stephen Hawking example is not right, how many with his condition went onto become great acheivers or contributors? I think the decision to procreate knowing the existence of such condition is entirely upto that individual (most of the times its an emotional decision) one cannot predict how things unfold after the child is born as it involves many factors that influence the growth primarily social, financial and cultural aspects.
@pogunillareddy257
“Stephen Hawking example [...] and cultural aspects.”
================
I agree with you that Stephen Hawking is NOT the appropriate example.
The overwhelming majority of persons who have Motor Neuron Diseases lead VERY VERY DIFFICULT lives in which they have to depend on others for even the simplest of tasks.
Further, it flabbergasts me that most people seem to think that they have an inherent, inalienable right to produce progeny.
@@ex.hindu.now.atheist yup, that's right, I agree with you.
Are you a keyboard warrior
You seem to be on many videos
@@dear_imran Are you a TH-cam civil police, following and watching every move?
No bro I told @atheist
I request you to sir plz use Hindi so that it is easy to understand
@being.anjali09.11
“I request you [...] easy to understand”
===================
There are a lot of people who do not know Hindi.
He answers in language caller chooses to speak either Hindi or English.
@@ex.hindu.now.atheist Hindi is a more common language than English don't be always rude to reply anyone
having children is seen as a blessing and a natural part of life. It's encouraged as it fulfills one of the main purposes of marriage, which is to build a family. However, this comes with responsibilities, like ensuring the well-being of children. While there might be practical considerations, like financial stability, there's no moral obligation to avoid reproduction.
@eternallyyyyy
“having children is [...] to avoid reproduction.”
====================
There is no moral obligation on the kids either, to take care of the parents when the latter become old.
