A member asked:
Can you please discuss the of the social and ethical issues involved in genetic testing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: What do you do with the results? Do you abort a child because they have a genetic disorder that will decrease survival -- but not kill them? If you know someone has a genetic disease, do you allow them to get married? Have children? Do you offer treatments (organ transplant) to someone you know will have.
