Find Medical Solutions Through Court Genetic Exams

By Marcie Goodman


Through Court genetic exams, cures for many diseases can be explored. In the past though, many people were unable to benefit from various medical tests due to patents that given to medical researchers which placed emphasis on genes. Due to a ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States of America, medical professionals have more options for treating patients.

The patents were removed by a ruling made by the United States Supreme Court so now, blood tests can be sent to other researchers who are making extraordinary strides in finding cures for diseases that affect the kidneys, and breast cancer. A lot of cures can be found because the highest court in the judicial system stated that a gene could not belong to anyone.

In the past, doctors were limited to sending samples of blood to the researchers who patented the genes that cancer testing focused on, which are designed to be done on women in various stages of life. Now those tests can be sent to other firms where startling steps have been achieved to finding cures for some of these life changing diseases.

Before the Supreme Court ruling, many patients were hindered from getting the genetics test because the cost for the testing soared in the thousands, which is not a figure that most citizens on limited budgets could afford to try. Since the Courts decision, women are able to schedule a variety of tests that will help provide answers to medical issues and other issues that affect the ability to live normal lives.

Genetics can be examined by an agency involved in providing health and welfare payments to a parent for the care of a child whose parentage is questioned. The exams will give the agency the evidence it needs to demand that the parent be held accountable and pay the child support each month. Without that evidence, some parents will not step up and take responsibility for the care of a child.

A genetics exam can help explain why some people will experience certain symptoms and people with other trails never do. Some diseases will affect the fraternal side of a family line, and not affect the maternal line of the families personal history. Not many State agencies ask for genetics to be traced through testing because of fears that it would violate the families right to privacy.

The results for this type of examination will help substantiate a patients suspicions that a problem exists with their own health. Some patients will choose to submit to DNA testing just so they will have a record of the information on file at home should a relative be discovered at some point in their life or a death occurs in the family and the test will confirm that the deceased is a family member.

Through the court genetic exams can be accomplished that will help families make hard decisions. Children with abnormalities do not have to be born into a life where it is incapable of survival. Parents can identify traits that prove that the child can not survive outside the womb. Some parents choose to terminate the pregnancy instead of giving birth to a child that has too many deformities that it can not leave a happy life.
