Description
Summary:	After defining the terms "perfect," "chromosomically" and "right" we discuss on the scope and terms of the right to a chromosomically perfect child. This right is it addressed to a target population or to the general population? What are the exams available and the means of diagnosis or screening to be implemented? The practice of genetic testing being highly controlled, some rules are then discussed. All over the paper, a reflection is proposed on what is allowed versus what is possible with reference to ethics.
