Original Note:
The purpose of these genetic tests is not to maintain racial purity, as is implied here, but to screen for genetic diseases that are common among Ashkenazi Jews (Gaucher, Cystic Fibrosis, Tay-Sachs, Familial Dysautonomia, etc.) to avoid producing children with these diseases. https://www.jscreen.org/about-jscreens-reprogen-test/
