Ethical Issues Raised by the Clinical Implementation of New Diagnostic Tools for Genetic Diseases in Children: Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) as a Case Study
Abstract:High throughput genetic technologies offer the opportunity to gain precision in the diagnosis of numerous diseases and to better understand their molecular basis. However they bring new practical and ethical challenges, some of which are foreseeable and therefore amenable to the timely adoption of strategies to ensure that they are introduced and used in a just and beneficial manner. One way of foreseeing these challenges is to examine technologies that have already been transferred from research to the clinic… Show more
