Question

The National Institutes of Health created the Genetic Testing Registry (GTR) to increase transparency by publicly sharing information about the utility of their tests, research for the general public, patients, health-care workers, genetic counselors, insurance companies, and others. The Registry is intended to provide better information to patients, but companies involved in genetic testing are not required to participate. Should company participation be mandatory? Why or why not? Explain your answers.

Accepted Answer

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following ethical concerns must be addressed first before conducting any genetic testing. And remember that these are the first thing that a researcher needs to worry about before anything is conducted. Well, as it turns out before we worry about making possible mistakes that might endanger someone's life or before we worry about protecting the intellectual property of the research we performed or we, before we worry about healthcare advanced directives, we need to worry about obtaining prior and informed consent from the person that we are studying without consent. None of these are going to be meaning anything because we are not able to perform the study. So answer choice C is going to be the correct answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
