It is hard to shun hearing about genetic testing. It is advertised, debated, discussed, and offered to patients. Some are over the counter, like paternity testing, testing for risk for diabetes and others. Others are provided by private companies and still others by drug companies. These tests may or may not show a different answer, so it important for patients to comprehend these results. Early in 1920s a Eugenics movement started in the US, courts decided which person had unwanted traits and would be sterilized so they could not pass these qualities to their children. The aim here was to create a population with better genes (therefore richer and healthier). Families who were selected received awards and people began to see the significance of genetics. But hardly did they know how it would EXPLODE! Chromosomes, (PDF) will look at genetic testing as it applies today and how the serious decisions that it demands, cannot be overlooked.
