DNA Podcast: Genetic Testing and Adolescents
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted April 5, 2008 in DNA Podcasts and Videos, DNA Testing, DNA and Disease
In this Melbourne University Up Close podcast, Dr. Shane Huntington interviews Dr. Rony Duncan of the Murdoch Children’s Research institute about genetic testing and adolescents. A full transcript is also available.
If we allow young people to have that information about their future, or if we allow parents to test their children and obtain that information, what happens if those children grow up and decide that they don’t want the information and decide that they didn’t actually make an informed choice?
