Still, I wonder: who would fall in the "highly susceptible" category? Wouldn't these people need to be tested prior to actually knowing they should be tested? (what would push someone to be tested for susceptibility of birthing malformed children before being tested?)
In the first case (reducing risk factors), chances that you will at least check positive for one thing are almost 1 (certain) and you don't need a test to know that. In almost all cases, limiting the risk will involve a) eating well b) stopping alcohol / smoking c) regular physical activity d) taking some Aspirin for the remainder of your life. You don't need the test results to start doing this. Either you sincerely want to live longer and shouldn't wait for genetic screening to take your matters into your own hands, or you think that test results will suddenly turn you into a monk. News flash: won't happen.
In the second case (whether or not to procreate): any decision you make on the hypothesis that your children will inherit it and that science will not have solved it in the next 50 years will very likely be a bad reason to not have children (there are many good reasons to not have children, though, but having a rare genetic conditions is not a good reason).
The only people who should not have kids are bad parents and people who don't want kids. Guess what? These two groups that probably have the highest amount of kids on Earth.
What's next? An article that explains why the bill stacks up when you log all denied fw packets?
Then I reached your "but it doesn't work".
Happy everything became normal again :)
