And that entire paragraph touches on random fears about fertility technology that have almost nothing to do with the subject of this article, which is gametogenesis.

Yes and no because the article is also about the future possibilities of getting kids with desired traits (as you can generate those much better when you have a truly unlimited potential of egg cells). And there was for example recently a court case that (deaf) parents in Germany won so that thier (also deaf) child wont get a hearing implant.

I doubt there are any would-be parents out there who want a child with a 5-year death sentence. Judging by the sentence immediately following:
> "There are plenty of people in Silicon Valley who are somewhere on the spectrum, and some of them will want children who are neuro-atypical.”
...I suspect the author intended "Tay-Sachs" to be "Autism".
