[edit] NPOV "see also"?
I think it's POV to include a link to life unworthy of life. There's a huge difference between mudering people because of their race or disability and voluntarily choosing to not knowingly pass on one's disability. Does anyone have a good reason for keeping this link? 138.89.122.55 03:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More Science
Can we include more science in this article? This talks about what and why genetic counselors do what they do, but nothing of how. 24.127.44.123 12:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vague, unwieldy
This whole article is very vague and some of the paragraphs seem to have no point. For instance, the third paragraph in the third section has nothing to do with genetic counselors. It simply discusses ethnicity-based genetic disorders. In keeping with the wikipedia philosophy, I'm going to delete it unless someone can come up with a reason to justify its existence. Also, the section titled prenatal testing is wrongly titled, as it deals with how genetic counseling can be given at any stage of life and seems superflous. The whole thing can be condensed down to one sentence and added elsewhere. 144.96.211.13 (talk) 18:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Inaccurate or NPOV category
"Part of a series of articles on Discrimination" does not seem appropriate for this article. The addition of that category to the article was 01:32, 22 February 2008. The Family Planning article is not under that series for its possible links to eugenics. Even the Eugenics article does not have this series side bar series information. I am going to remove the category. Please discuss this further here if you think the category is appropriate. Yourai (talk) 04:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
