The not-morally-objectionable stuff

Your comments in this thread make it seem like there is a general consensus about what things are moral or not, and the problem is just using words precisely. But things like selecting embryos to avoid giving birth to children with disabilities is considered very objectionable by many---and the people who object do talk about eugenics, genocide, etc. For example, the "Autism Genocide Clock". When there is a genuine moral disagreement, changing what word you use will not help.
