    Genetic testing can provide both benefits and drawbacks. The pros include giving individuals a sense of relief by answering health questions, allowing for early treatment of genetic diseases if tested early, and providing potential cures for certain conditions. However, the cons involve issues with inaccurate or inefficient testing, lack of privacy as genetic information may be shared without consent, and possibility of discrimination or depression based on results.

    depression

    Sense of relief/ answers to questions that may have stressed an


    idividual: whether or not he/she has a genetic disease. If they have
    the capability to pass on their mutated gene.
    Early treatement if tested early enough, or specifically through
    newborn screening.
    Drugs are provided to cure specific gene diseases.

    negative test results: relief, good news


    positive test results: possible cures, answers to questions
    Early decision instead of a regretful one: getting genetically tested
    and finding out that the indivual has a genetic disease can allow for
    prevention of getting children and passing on the mutated gene.
