The mien contractable screening is currently used and promoted is immoral. battery-acid OnePre-birth genetic screening, how it is currently used is immoral because it leads to abortion based on sexual urge and loss towards those who have special needs. Abortion based on gender 7999/8000 abortions performed in the Bombay area between 1978-82 were on female fetuses. (Kimbrell, pg. 122) Abortions based on disabilities Poll in New England 1% based on gender 6% based on Alzheimers in old age 11% based on obesity (Rifkin, pg. 147) - terminate lead to a genetic-based eugenics program (sterilization of those deemed unstable to have children) -violation of the integrity of the human being and a child as a gift (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2344) Point TwoGenetic Screening has the strong possibility of being used by corporations to baffle hiring practices and insurance premiums. Example Reggie Lewis Boston Celtics died of a genetic emotional state dysfunction Eddy Curry dinero Bulls had heart problems. Bulls wanted him to undergo gen etic testing before signing him to a new pressure The Bulls had insisted that Curry take a DNA test to determine whether hes a potentially fatal heart problem. Curry, who missed the final 13 games of the regular anneal susceptible to and the playoffs after experiencing an irregular heartbeat, balked, saying it violated his privacy. (www. nytimes. com/2005/10/03/sports/basketball/04curry) Employers may demand the right to genetic tests before hiring or promotion 981, the sureness of labor statistics reported that occupational illness be private sector employers 850,000 lost workdays. (http//www. scu. edu/ethics/publications/iie/v4n2/genes. html) Corporations spirit to improve their profits could demand that genetic tests be applicable to reduce waste. This could create a ineradicable underclass of the unemployable. predisposition to genetically-based disease is often associated with tend or ethnic background. For example, the sickle cell singularity is found in 1 out of 12 b lacks, only when only in 1 out of 1,000 whites. (http//www. scu. edu/ethics/publications/iie/v4n2/genes. html) Insurance companies could deny access after a genetic screenGenetic screening may be performed on current or prospective employees when it is clear that the genetic trait directly affects job act (http//www. acoem. org/guidelines) Point Three Genetic Screening can be useful but most genetic diseases are untreatable or not properly diagnosed. Gen. screening often only demonstrates a predisposition or susceptibility to a certain disorder not a definitive Results can be misinterpreted Problems in diagnosis both parents must have the gene Tay Sachs disease Cystic Fibrosis Sickle Cell genus Anemia Useful to inform couples concerning marriage (accepted by the Catholic Church) Conclusion While there are near possible benefits to gen. screening, many of its current uses are unethical.For genetic screening to be ethical, access to results must be seriously restricted and must n ot be used to deny people health care, trade or other basic rights available to all people.
