Are you asking if it is advisable to provide intervention necessary for reproduction in such individuals? If we were scientists studying fruit flies, probably not. But we are dealing with full-fledged human beings, and I think propagating ones genes (for better or worse) is a fundamental human right. Similar questions surround individuals with Huntington's disease and other conditions that are passed to offspring.
And if you weren't asking that, can you clarify?

It is oxymoronic to construct "rights" that involve the picking of someone else's pockets. Our rights to our own life, liberty and property precede the claims of others.
If you are infertile for whatever reason you DONT have the "right" to socialized medicine to cure that condition. Go that route and we'd have an in-vitro fertilization program costing billions. (All next door to an abortion clinic killing babies every day, no doubt).

Should genetic defects be subsidized?
