In some cases, people who test positive for genetic testing can receive preventive treatments. for example, people who test positive for the breast cancer genes brca1 and brca2 can have a preventive mastectomy (breast removal surgery) before they develop the disease. in other cases, no preventive treatments are available, but frequent monitoring can detect a disease earlier, when it’s more easily treated. what ethical or professional concerns does a health-care professional need to address when he or she has a patient who wants to prematurely treat a genetic disease? do you think genetic testing should be part of normal preventive healthcare? why or why not?

There are many ethical or professional concerns related to genetic treatments.

Usually, a  prematurely genetic treatment involves the genetic testing first. A health care professional should address these concerns:

Yes, I think genetic testing is the vital and important part of preventive health care.

Genetic disorders are incurable so there should be genetic testing necessary for all who have some genetic anomalies in families.

There are many genetic disorders which are running in genes from the start of mankind. It is very difficult and painful to cope with them. That is why genetic testing should be a necessary procedure in preventive health care.

Some genetic disease can be cured or prevented by earlier detection by genetic testing before the genetic anomaly is converted into fatal disorder. As the case mentioned in the question statement. Breast cancer can be cured by earlier detection of genetic defects.

Some ethecial things to take in consideration is, if the patient is pregnant will the gene disease be passed down to the baby, is it worth it if the child will also have that disease? Another thing to take in consideration is if the patient is likely to actuallly catch the disease or is the genetic testing just a safety precaution? If genetic testing is done, than someone can see that they could possibly have cancer, however they do not know for sure that they do have breast cancer. The genetic testing was just a safety precausion saying, "hey you could possibly devlope cancer later on." I do not think that genetic testing should be a normal part of healthcare because it is just a precaution, a safety net you don't actually cure anything. I think that if you don't use it to cure anything than why spend money on it?

i believe the answer is a or 1
