It was a dumb answer to IMO a dumb question. Embryo screening won't affect anyone who has already been born unless it gets combined with some kind of time travel.

Yes, filtering out embryos will mean that entire potential family lines won't exist, but other new potentials will replace them, assuming they weren't going to be randomly selected in the first place.
