I think as far as prenatal genetic testing, he is referring to the T13/T18/T21 trisomy tests from Sequenom, Verinata, etc. The idea is to test for genetic abnormalities early on so you can abort the baby within a safe range. Prenatal testing is going to expand into into other tests (CF etc.) in order to guarantee the parents a non-defective baby.
I think "prescribed" is the wrong word to use.

I was wondering if anyone is a hobbyist philosopher(or related, not
sure the name) who is studying Bioethics (the whole field rather than
DIYbio only). Why should DIYbio be confined to "hard" science like
labwork or in-silico? Is anyone, as a hobby, thinking and writing on
morals and ethics in biology and other science fields?***Sorry if my words are not well-chosen, e.g. "soft-science",
"confined", etc. I hope my point is understandable.
