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.

Before the ruling, the right to conduct such tests was denied to physicians and care givers and people that were afflicted with life threatening diseases had no recourse but to endure a great deal of suffering until that company that owned the gene rights did the testing. By Law, no other source could do that vital testing due to ownership rights.

Before the Supreme Court ruling, many patients were hindered from getting the genetics test because the cost for the testing soared in the thousands, which is not a figure that most citizens on limited budgets could afford to try. Since the Courts decision, women are able to schedule a variety of tests that will help provide answers to medical issues and other issues that affect the ability to live normal lives.

A genetic exam is usually ordered by child protection agencies when the mother is receiving public assistance. The purpose of the testing is to determine who fathered the child and that person will be held responsible for providing life giving financial support to the child until the child reaches a legal age. Until that discovery is made, the State will take on the responsibility for providing support to the child.

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.

The results for this type of examination will help substantiate a patients suspicions that a problem exists with their own health. Some patients will choose to submit to DNA testing just so they will have a record of the information on file at home should a relative be discovered at some point in their life or a death occurs in the family and the test will confirm that the deceased is a family member.

Some citizens might choose to protect reproductive rights by using court genetic exams to prove that their reproductive organs are performing as they should be naturally. A parent can view the test results and know that an unborn child is developing well, and is free of any birth defect abnormalities.
