Legal and ethical issues arising from the new genetics
J Reprod Med.
1992 Jun.
Abstract
Legal and ethical issues involving genetics arise at the level of carrier screening, preimplantation diagnosis in embryos and prenatal diagnosis in fetuses. A strong commitment to procreative liberty and autonomy should permit patients and physicians to gain access to genetic information at every stage of decision making. Even if Roe v Wade is reversed, considerable room for the use of genetic information in procreative decision making will remain.
