Abstract

In this article the authors discuss gene mapping of unborn children and the dangers of improper guidance for parents. They note two different laboratories that reveal the entire genetic code of a fetus using a blood sample from the mother, the benefits of prenatal whole-genome sequencing, such as a gene-testing service called 23andMe, the uncertainties such tests raise for parents, and whole-genome sequencing's impact on attitudes toward child rearing.
