In today's world, people learn a lot in the rapidly growing and developing fields of science and technology. Almost every day a person can see or hear about new discoveries and advances in these fields of study. One science that is advancing rapidly is that of genetic testing; a valuable science that promotes prevention efforts among genetically predisposed individuals and offers new disease management strategies. Abnormally and morally wrong, genetic testing is a controversial science that manipulates human ethics. Although genetic testing has enormous benefits, the uncertainties of genetic testing will depreciate our quality of life and thus lead to psychological burden, discrimination, and abortions. The stress of genetic test results, which may shorten your life or fail to cure you, will disrupt an individual physically and emotionally. Healthy people who carry the burden of a life-threatening illness lack strong social support and coping skills. “The anxiety of living with the likelihood of one or more specific, chronic, debilitating illnesses creates a psychological burden that exceeds the therapeutic potential of lifestyle changes or earlier treatment due to increased alertness” (Kjono). Survivor guilt, or the mental state felt by those who survived a catastrophic event that took the lives of others. For example, if a sibling carries a genetic alteration, such as cancer, and one sibling has increased diagnostic potential, the other sibling will feel guilty for escaping this increased risk. Not only can a negative genetic test result affect your well-being, but also your ability to obtain health and life insurance.
