Newborn genetic screening: ethical and social considerations for the nineties.

Journal International de Bioethique = International Journal of Bioethics, 01 Jan 1991, 2(1):5-12
PMID: 11651052 

Abstract 

As we head into the next decade, the impact of the use of genetic screening programs for immunological surveillance purposes (such as for HIV) and for possible DNA typing should not be underestimated. The authors present ten principles which seek to reaffirm the basic tenents of neonatal screening programs -- the benefit of newborns. These principles are both protective and yet open to the complex ethical and social considerations raised by such new uses of newborn genetic screening programs.
