Our goal was to learn about modern prenatal testing and its impact on children and families as well as on society. We did this through philosophical analysis of the research we conducted, prior, regarding prenatal testing and modern genetic counseling techniques, and wrote a paper presenting all sides of the issue. We concluded that there exists positive and negative repercussions to testing future children for genetic disease.
