Birth in error
A man and woman who have defects in their genetics get married, and they know that if they have a child, he will have a difficult life with a lot of suffering and illness.
They therefore decide to have a child. Are they doing something immoral?

It is theoretically difficult to define this as immoral, because there is no one harmed here. The alternative is that the child would not exist (search the website for “wrongful birth”). But I still wouldn’t do it.
What does it mean: "There is no one injured here," since surely the newborn is the one injured?
