Prenatal Whole-Genome Sequencing — Is the Quest to Know a Fetus's Future Ethical?

15 Jan 2014

Abstract excerpt

Researchers have reported sequencing a fetal genome from cell-free fetal DNA in a pregnant woman's blood, heralding the possibility of performing whole-genome sequencing as early as the first trimester of pregnancy. This innovation raises ethical and policy questions.
