The mothers having those embryos. There should really be some sort of assurance this would be their choice.

Yes. Definitely.

People living now with those genetic differences. I don't think I'm the only one to think that it could bring a great danger to those people if their right to exist would be at least superficially put into question.

True, though I think that's an issue with all medical advances that prevent a previously common illness (which is not to say it's not also specifically an issue here) And I guess.. it's important not to approach disability and difference entirely in terms of cure/prevention, but also in terms of creating a world which has space for people who are and will always be different/ill.
