MiShel’s brother had become blind from a hereditary(遗传的)condition in his early 20s, and the Meissners had learned that the condition is a【C1】______passed from mothers to sons. If they had a boy, he would have a 50 per cent chance of having the condition. A girl would be【C2】______

选项
答案 N
解析 此处应填入reasons的修饰成分，可为名词、形容词或动词分词。从破折号前的ethical and practical considerations可以知道空格处提到的原因可能有悖伦理标准，即并非因为医学上的需要而使用这种技术，由此可见，nonmedical“非医学的”是答案。
