So, we will soon ALL, as embryos, be screened for deseases of every sort. And if found "defective", will be murdered on-the-spot.
I hardly consider this a step toward making this world a better place.

LOL, I bet your some wacky religious zealot. For your information, many people who know that their kids are genetically defective, carry them to term.(Even kids with things like down syndrome)
It is the PARENT'S CHOICE, to keep the baby or not.
NOT YOURS or your made up "god"
So, fock off basically, this is a wonderful moment for mankind.

i personally would not want to bring a child into this world knowing he/she could not function or have a normal life. why would i want my child to suffer? the problem is when people have to determine what they believe "normal" to be. if my child could not be productive, live on their own, take care of themselves and maybe a family someday, i would not want them to have to suffer that fate. i would love him or her enough not to have them born. what happens to my child when i die. who takes care of my sick child then who is an adult? what a sad life. i would not want to live like that. i could only imagine my child would not either. i have not ever been faced with that decision, so who knows how i truly would react if faced with that situation. thank God I have not.

The baby could get hit by a car for godsakes.

How do you define personhood?
Is it our ability to think? Obviously, not since embryos have no brains, and you seem to believe that embryos are people. If we are talking about a fetus that had developed even a little brain it could be argued that it is thinking, just at that point the thoughts are very primitive and can be built on later to achieve the level or type of thinking that defines personhood.
I suppose you'll probably say it's being a human being. In other words having human DNA. So you define personhood based on having cells that contain a clump of chemicals? What if there was an alien race that was just as intelligent as us? Are they still not people because they don't have human DNA? I feel sorry for the galaxy if people like you are going to lead the human race in the future.
I know I'm making a lot of assumptions about your beliefs. I apologize if I'm wrong, and please correct me if I am.
Furthermore, regardless of the reason the other embryos were killed let's keep in mind that in every case of artificial insemination several eggs are made, and usually only one is kept. The others are destroyed.
