Ethical boundaries in genetic testing.

D Allan1.   

Abstract

The scarcity of resources that can be allocated to genetic testing will ultimately limit the number of diseases subjected to molecular analysis. Medical student David Allan, who claimed first prize in CMAJ's 1995 Logie Medical Ethics Essay Contest, looks at the ethical principles that should guide decisions about genetic testing, and the importance of communicating these principles to patients and their families.
