My bioethics professor always encouraged us to use a particular thought experiment when we were facing an ethical problem. He said to ask the question universally, usually phrased as 'What would society look like if everyone made the same choice?' Now, for that question to have any meaning in the context of our discussion we would have to go disease by disease to ascertain the 'rightness' or 'wrongness' of preventing pregnancies in given situations. For most of the ones I listed however, I think that those embryos should never, in any case or situation be implanted and/or carried to term. (I'm separating conception and pregnancy here, assuming technical limitations requiring/allowing these decisions to be made.)
