She also didn't understand the question about of her mom had been screned out then what would she think about not existing, and she said that there would just be a different version of herself.

She think she would exist if her mother did not.

It was a dumb answer to IMO a dumb question. Embryo screening won't affect anyone who has already been born unless it gets combined with some kind of time travel.

Yes, filtering out embryos will mean that entire potential family lines won't exist, but other new potentials will replace them, assuming they weren't going to be randomly selected in the first place.

Yes, other people. Not a different version of the same person.

She knew full well, she was just playing ignorant since she knew it would be printed. better to play dumb while you think of something to say than to give ammunition to your opponents
