Ethical and Psychosocial Issues in Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) for Newborns

Abstract excerpt

In this article, I review some of the ethical issues that have arisen in the past when genetic testing has been done in newborns. I then suggest how whole genome sequencing may raise a new set of issues. Finally, I introduce a series of other articles in which the authors address different controversies that arise when whole genome sequencing is used in the newborn period.
