    That is a difficult question. I would err on the side of yes. With some caveats.

    Not treating some serious genetic conditions when safe, effective and proven treatments are available. Could easily be construed as abuse.

    When considering the Star Trek universe medical care is free and easily accessed. Treating these conditions would be the default.

    Turning this the other way around, and looking at it from the point of view, that the technology is the standard. What argument could you make in favour of leaving the condition in place?
