Genetics and Ethics

Please go to website: http://www.vcsd.k12.ny.us/cms/lib/NY24000141/Centricity/Domain/207/Book.pdf and read chapter 10 in the text for biotechnology so you have some background and starting place for the below scenario.

Scenario: Sue and Jim are in shock. Their 2 year old child has just been diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy and they have a new baby on the way.

Based on your readings and studying, if you carried this gene and could potentially have a child like this who should have access to this information? (Remember it could affect insurance premiums) It could be costly to care for the child. How about the ethics of abortion? Is that an option? Would you think it would be ethical to allow gene therapy if it were available to \”save\” the child?
