Ethics+of+DNA+Microarrays


 * Dna Chips offer genetic screening from cystic fibrosis to many other genetic traits that may want to reamain unknown.
 * Employers would be able to request testing to find if an applicant is good enough for the job.
 * Can be used in prenatal testing, which can be good because it can help detect disease early, but could also lead to things such as designer babies.

- The Potential for abuse with the knowledge that can be gained from a Microarray is high. Because of the gained knowledge from DNA Microarrays things such as mutation detections, predictive and prenatal diagnosis, and ultimately gene replacement can occur. Alot of controversy has risen from these potentials, and many people are against it all together. But another thing to take into consideration is the help that these Microarrays could give rise to with potential drugs to help with cancer and other things. That's where the pros and cons are stuck at.
