Use Court Genetic Exams To Quell Personal Fears

By Marcie Goodman


Through Court genetic exams, cures for many diseases can be explored. In the past though, many people were unable to benefit from various medical tests due to patents that given to medical researchers which placed emphasis on genes. Due to a ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States of America, medical professionals have more options for treating patients.

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.

Prior to the ruling made by the Supreme Court, doctors were restricted from sending tests and blood samples to any one other than the company which owned the patent for a particular set of cancer genes. Studies on these genes were limited to women and tests were done only on women who were part of certain age ranges.

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 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.
