1. Access to genomic information is changing the way we practice health care. Today, children and their parents have the potential to learn about DNA sequence alterations that: (1) confirm conditions pre-symptomatically (before symptoms appear), (2) predispose children to common disorders, such as cancer and diabetes, or (3) identify carrier states.
2. Think about the positive and negative consequences of parents and/or children having access to this type of information before a child turns 18?.
