Genetic Options

BLOOD TESTS and DNA TESTS:

Some people may object to genetic DNA testing. This is a personal preference for each family. Some families prefer not to have their children tested for the following reasons:

  • They do not want their children to have DNA results in the hands of a corporation who can then sell or use those results against them.
  • If insurance companies get those results, will people be denied services?
  • Privacy, Privacy, Privacy
