Genetic profiling of newborns: ethical and social issues.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Jan 2006

Almond Brenda

Abstract excerpt

Identifying genetic factors that could reliably predict health risks for individuals has the potential to bring great health benefits, both for the individuals concerned and for health-care providers. Genetic profiling at birth would allow a person's genome to be analysed at an early stage, and the data electronically stored for future use. However, although this might seem like an attractive proposition, it...
