Find Medical Solutions Through Court Genetic Exams

By Marcie Goodman


Cures can be found for crippling diseases through the testing that occurs with Court genetic exams. Not all individuals have been able to get these medical evaluations accomplished because certain research sites owned the patents to a particular set of genes that were present in the tests that studied genetics, and every test done had to be routed through that research facility instead of through an outside source.

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.

Prior to the ruling made by the Supreme Court, doctors were restricted from sending tests and blood samples to any one other than the company which owned the patent for a particular set of cancer genes. Studies on these genes were limited to women and tests were done only on women who were part of certain age ranges.

The testing fees that were charged by the owner of the genes patent were high and most people that were fighting diseases could not afford to pay those costs. Since the tests can be sent to outside sources, the cost for testing for genetic disorders have dramatically dropped. Women in all age groups can now afford to be tested for any medical abnormality and get treatment and live a happier life.

A genetic exam is usually ordered by child protection agencies when the mother is receiving public assistance. The purpose of the testing is to determine who fathered the child and that person will be held responsible for providing life giving financial support to the child until the child reaches a legal age. Until that discovery is made, the State will take on the responsibility for providing support to the 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 cell examinations will tighten up loose ends when people have doubts about the status of their health. People are willing to submit to a DNA test to prove that they were not involved in a crime. Some tests are done to create a record of t he persons DNA data and that information will prove useful if a family member disappears.

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.
