The parents THINK they ARE preventing an inherited genetic issue. I would not dare mess with "god's creation" /evolution. Too many unknowns once you start mix and matching and there's no going back. We know very little...

then you should not have children, but you should clone yourself. because your children are certainly going to be a messed up version of god's creation

Nope, whatever happens it's the natural way: mistakes, mix, match and all.
