    Genetic testing is offered to families who believe they may have the defective gene that causes MSUD for future pregnancies. This DNA testing isn’t necessary to diagnose the child. A prenatal diagnosis involves testing the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby in the womb. They test for enzyme activity in cultured aminocytes or chorion villus cells that are rich in stem cells or mutation analysis. Newborns are screened by a blood sample taken from the heel and analyzed for high leucine levels. A urine amino acid test will reveal signs of ketosis, a high level of ketone bodies and acidosis, an excess amount of acid in the…

    This final paper will discuss the ongoing debate of genetic/prenatal testing. Procedures for genetic/prenatal testing have been available since the early 1970's (Press, 2008, pp. 73-78). Genetic testing identifies abnormalities or changes in the chromosomes and genes. This type of testing is used to confirm or deny a suspected genetic condition or used to predict a person's chances of developing or passing on a certain disorder (Grant, 2000). Once the woman wants to go ahead with the genetic testing, a primary care doctor or genetic specialist places an order for the test. Genetic testing is often done as part of a genetic consultation (Press, 2008, pp. 73-78). It is very important that the patient knows every aspect of the procedure including…

    The federal government has no direct control on the practice of medicine, leaving such oversight to each state. This is in stark contrast to the rest of the developed world, where the majority of countries have a national regulatory body policing fertility clinics. Indeed, of the 30 industrialized countries—which account for one-fifth of the world's population and have the most fully developed biotechnology sectors—77% have banned embryo screening for nonmedical purposes (Miller). Banning the undesirable applications of the designer babies’ technology will benefit those who wish to eradicate genetic diseases in their family lineage with a sense of reassured confidence by following those safety guidelines. As the process prevents genetic diseases and reduces risk of inherited medical conditions after several genes are screened and only those that doesn’t bear the disease will be implanted, medical conditions or genetic diseases that he or she might have inherited are removed, ensuring a healthy development. A designer baby can grow into a healthy individual and is likely to live a long life. For example, the first British baby girl was born free of breast cancer as she will grow up without the defective BRCA1 gene that her father's sister, mother, aunt and grandmother all suffered from the disease and…

    Imagine being a contestant on a game show; you’ve made it to the final round and the last obstacle between winning a Ferrari is the option between two doors. One door holds the popular, expensive car; however, behind the other is lion that is extremely hungry. Wouldn’t it be easier if the host had the ability to give you clues as to which door held the lion. This is similar to how amniocentesis works. Amniocentesis is the testing of amniotic fluid to reveal chromosomal abnormalities and lung development in a fetus. Most commonly this test is done on high-risk patients, but it is becoming more common for all mothers-to-be to participate (Harvard Medical Dictionary). Along with its popularity, controversy follows. Many believe that amniocentesis is considered “playing God”, could cause harm to the fetus and/or mother, and is unethical. However, amniocentesis allows the expecting parents to better prepare for their child if they have special needs and consider the quality of life.…

    More than 60 million birth certificates were available for analysis over the study period (AJPH, 2002). In both groups, prenatal care was started earlier. The percentages of women beginning care in the first trimester increased from 61% to 73% for African American women and from 80% to 85% for white women. However, the racial disparity increased among young girls. The ratio of white to African American girls receiving adequate care rose from 1.07 in 1985-1987 to 1.13 in 1995-1997. "Greater emphasis on follow-up of African American teens once enrolled in care may be a promising avenue for stemming this trend," the researchers said. (Alexander et al,…

    Though there are tests and testing facilities that do the genetic tests, prenatal genetic testing is not accessible to all at-risk or concerned families expecting a baby. Government funding should be put towards prenatal genetic testing to increase accessibility to testing facilities, discover more testing forms, and give more autonomy to physicians. With these improvements, low income-families and anyone with a family history of genetic diseases can find out and prepare for any irregularities before the baby is…

    These disparities may be attributed to the amount of prenatal care that pregnant women of different ethnicities receive.

That rate was up for the seventh consecutive year from 75.5% in 1989. Only 71% of black and Hispanic women received prenatal care,…

    Gene testing on unborn children is a revolutionary method that is available to doctors and would-be parents of late. The main objective of gene testing is to know whether parents are carriers of any genes that could hypothetically cause a genetic abnormality. It is important to understand the condition where genetic testing should be recommended in society as there can be benefits of getting the test done on an unborn child. This issue however should not be compulsory because there are many factors that show the risks of genetic testing which can lead to death. Problems can be corrected before the birth of the baby but can cause psychological problems for the parents. The parents should get a choice whether or not the test is done but if it’s compulsory, the parents could find out that their child will have a disease and want to abort the baby. Parents can prepare if they know their child will have a genetic disorder but this comes with a price as not all insurance companies can help with these expenses.…
