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.

Owning a gene strand is not possible through this ruling because genes are a product that comes from the natural sources derived from nature. Since no corporate entity can own the genes that contain markers for cancer causing diseases, the tests that diagnose or rule out cancer in the persons gene pool can be sent to a wider range of resources. Treatment for those people affected by diseases of the kidney and those suffering from breast cancer will improve because other sources of testing can be used.

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 person may be able to benefit from the genetics identified through Court ordered exams if the right agency is the one placing the request. An unmarried mother that is supported by Government funding can receive DNA tests so that the father of the unborn child can be identified. The judicial system will hold that parent responsible for paying financial support until the child is an adult.

Some families have a long histories of physical deformities and mental defects and the exam can pinpoint where the trait began. Some families are defensive when certain secrets are exposed so it is difficult to get State agencies to ask the courts system to order the tests. Some physicians will order certain tests just to diminish the amount of fear that a person has about a disease that other family members have encountered.

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.
