In fact, I'd go as far as to say that people who have hereditary problems should be sterilized, that people in who live in poverty and squalor should not be allowed to have children -- not forever, just until they are in a more advantageous position (perhaps certain income brackets? This is the more subjective pile), and that an assessment test should be mandatory for parenthood. Allowing a child to be born with such a deformity, in my mind, is tantamount to child abuse.
You see, to do this would mean they'd have to be under heavy surveillance, probably also meaning you'd want them to live close together, so it'd be easier to keep track of them. So you move all the poor, sick, and handicapped (by birth) into a small area and keep watch over them.

That, my friend, is how you end up with Ghettos.
