Tаy-Sаchs diseаse is a rare inherited disоrder caused by an autоsоmal recessive allele of the HEXA gene. Affected individuals exhibit severe neurological symptoms and do not survive to reproductive age. Individuals who inherit one copy of the allele (Tay-Sachs carriers) typically show no symptoms of the disorder. The frequencies of Tay-Sachs carriers in the general population of North America and in three different subpopulations are presented in the table. For general population the frequency is 0.004. For subpopulation 1 the frequency is 0.037. For subpopulation 2 the frequency is 0.035. For subpopulation 3 the frequency is 0.020. Which of the following is an ethical question about Tay-Sachs disease that cannot be answered using scientific methods?
