Therefore, yes, it is very important to check Dor Yeshorim early.<br /><br />As to the entire modus operandi at Dor Yeshorim, I have my own take on things. There are some matches which they call off due to concerns of children being born with diseases which are not necessarily fatal.<br /><br />I would highly recommend reading the first chapter of, "The Troubled Dream of Genetic Medicine" by Keith Wailoo. It was required reading for a class of mine in university, and I must say that the arguments concerning Dor Yeshorim seem pretty solid. Meshugannoreply@blogger.com
