I think that genetic testing is a wonderful advance for many reasons. Lives can be saved with the advance of finding new medicanes and procedures to treat illnesses. This is a terrifying, amazing, and wonderous advance in medical history. It is also my choice to get genetic testing. Because I have this choice i believe that genetic testing is a wonderful advance.
Genetic testing seems to be an amazing advance in medical technology.
Sometimes I agree with this statement and other times I strongly disagree. I am a carrier of the Werdnig-Hoffman disease and hold a chance of giving my children the disease. With technological advancments I may be able to avoid having a child that has the disease. If I can be told ahead of time that my child has the disease, I can decide to abort the child. This techonological advance becomes an ethical and moral decision-one I am not sure I want to make.
