Question

Ethical and social issues have become a large part of the public discussion of genetics and genetic testing. Choose two of the propositions presented here and prepare a list of arguments for and against them.

Prenatal genetic testing and genetic testing later in life should be available for hereditary conditions that cannot currently be treated or effectively managed.

Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together, which of the following is not a prenatal genetic test. So let's recall what we know our prenatal genetic tests to figure out which of the following is not one of them. So we know that these prenatal genetic tests are used two detect genetic abnormalities or conditions in the fetus. And so some of these prenatal genetic tests include I M neo synthesis as well as chorionic villas sampling and beetle ultrasound. And so looking at our answer choices, we can see that some of the tests in the answer choices line up with those that we have just listed including amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling as well as fetal ultrasound. However, group B strep culture test is not one of those prenatal genetic tests because it is not used to detect genetic abnormalities or conditions in the fetus. And it is used to test for group B streptococcus bacteria in pregnant women. And so answer choice B group B strep culture test is the correct answer because it is not a prenatal genetic test. And instead it is a test that we use to detect group B streptococcus bacteria in pregnant women. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
