Great because we might be able to treat the baby for some things before birth.

I think testing and experimentation should be non invasive and non violation in terms of humans.

Part of this depends on the reason for wanting to check. Are we wanting to go back to attempting to create a "perfect race" of beings, or genuinely wanting to eliminate certain "disorders" or "diseases" from the human organisms of the future...? If one believes in Alfred Wallace's "Theory of Evolution" popularized by Charles Darwin, then Great Nature herself adapts organisms by a selection process... I don't think Science or Scientists have quite grasped or understood this, that Life itself is not perfect, per se, it is continually in flux, in motion and being adapted. So, testing of itself is fine, because one can gain information and knowledge that might help one better to plan for futures. But, if testing is done, with a view to making decisions then that's a different ball-game.
