I have yet to hear an argument that makes me in favor of leaving disease causing alleles in the gene pool. Mother nature will select them out herself, and more violently than we will. Call it whatever you want, thanks to CRISPR and related technologies, a form of eugenics is going to come into practice among 'the elite' defined in this case as those with access to gene-editing technology. If someone gets a gene-print of you that shows you still possess markers for BRCA1 and BRCA2 (Among others), you will be less attractive than someone without them.
