Genetic testing of new borns

I found this article very interesting because I always had a feeling that sooner or later newborns would begin to be genetically tested, or even before they are born. The article overall discusses how genetic testing of new borns is becoming more and more frequent. Some parents are unhappy with the results because sometimes the baby could be at risk for a rare disease but not ever develop the disease. It causes stress and heartache among parents and families.

I disagree with the outrages parents. Even if the genetic testing isnt accurate, its good to at least know that your child is at risk for a certain rare diease. I think I would want to know so that I could do everything in my power to help prevent the disease or prepare for it. Life is a stressful thing, one more thing on someones shoulders isn't going to hurt. Especially if it's for the wellbeing of their child.
