Use Court Genetic Exams To Quell Personal Fears

By Marcie Goodman


With enough room for growth, people can use Court genetic exams to explore links to various diseases. When doctors submitted tests for studies, certain restrictions were in place that limited where genetic testing could take place. If a specific set of genes were studied, a patent kept doctors from sending tests to other labs, but a ruling made by the Supreme Court changed those requirements and doctors are now able to treat patients more rapidly.

Owning a gene strand is not possible through this ruling because genes are a product that comes from the natural sources derived from nature. Since no corporate entity can own the genes that contain markers for cancer causing diseases, the tests that diagnose or rule out cancer in the persons gene pool can be sent to a wider range of resources. Treatment for those people affected by diseases of the kidney and those suffering from breast cancer will improve because other sources of testing can be used.

In the past, doctors were limited to sending samples of blood to the researchers who patented the genes that cancer testing focused on, which are designed to be done on women in various stages of life. Now those tests can be sent to other firms where startling steps have been achieved to finding cures for some of these life changing diseases.

Testing for many type of disorders that are tied to genetic trails can be done now because having alternate sources to perform tests reduces the price of each test. Not many individuals could afford to have family genetics tested because the cost were unaffordable by those that had limited means of support. Now families can afford to order tests that will give people answers to family medical issues.

A person may be able to benefit from the genetics identified through Court ordered exams if the right agency is the one placing the request. An unmarried mother that is supported by Government funding can receive DNA tests so that the father of the unborn child can be identified. The judicial system will hold that parent responsible for paying financial support until the child is an adult.

Some families have a long histories of physical deformities and mental defects and the exam can pinpoint where the trait began. Some families are defensive when certain secrets are exposed so it is difficult to get State agencies to ask the courts system to order the tests. Some physicians will order certain tests just to diminish the amount of fear that a person has about a disease that other family members have encountered.

Some patients will ask the Courts for permission to conduct a full array of testing so that certain suspicions can be ruled out. Recent changes in health or mental attitude might lead some people to think that there is some medical condition present that is making them act weird or out of the ordinary. Some families use the DNA testing process to create a record which could be used if a child was lost.

Through the court genetic exams can be accomplished that will help families make hard decisions. Children with abnormalities do not have to be born into a life where it is incapable of survival. Parents can identify traits that prove that the child can not survive outside the womb. Some parents choose to terminate the pregnancy instead of giving birth to a child that has too many deformities that it can not leave a happy life.
