I would not 'take advantage of genetic screening/enginering to overcom sterility and guarantee a child free of genetic diseases' for several reasons.

First of all, the human genome is too 'liquid' to strictly-conform to one "map" or another. Scientists cannot change genes without a universal 'map' of the genome - which can never-ever exist - and so I do not want them to try to fit my genes to "projections of reason."

If you have seen some of Rob Bell's research, you have seen where Newtonian physics ('every event must have a cause') gets blown out of the water by Cosmological physics and Subatomic physics (summarily, the Physics of God).

Mutation is one of those events. Truly, you might say that mutation is slightly-above 'Subatomic' in scale; but its causes begin in the subatomic, and change the organism in order to adapt to the causes.

That adaptation is the Gift of God - which you might secularly call "luck."

'Genetic disease' is a weed in the field of one's heritage. If one is born with weeds which have already taken root, then pulling the weeds will upset the balance achieved.

No, the only way to defeat the weeds is to let them live, withering and fading away as their sustanence is withheld by the multiplication of the favored crop.
