Abstrakt: A recent report from Petah-Tikva, Israel discusses the challenges faced by individuals with genetic optic atrophies in terms of family planning. The study focuses on four patients with different genetic optic atrophies and explores various options available to them, such as preconception, preimplantation, and perinatal methods, to prevent blindness in their offspring. The research highlights the advancements in genetics and medical technology that enable multidisciplinary teams to assist patients in achieving their goal of having genetically healthy children. The report also raises ethical considerations regarding the reduction of a future life to a non-life-threatening impairment and the allocation of public expenditure for non-life-threatening conditions.
