Abstract:
Two cases, prenatal genetic testing for deafness and newborn genetic testing for diseases and talent, were firstly introduced. And then, the author analyzed the ethical issues in these cases, such as question about ge-netic testing technologies, freedom of genetic testing in clinical obstetrics, role of obstetricians in genetic testing, problems about informed consent, and harms to doctor-patient relationship, and so forth. Finally, it put forward some suggestions on commercial genetic testing in obstetric practice.
