Περίληψη: | The "genetic revolution" that characterized the beginning of the third millennium
and the most recent “genomic revolution” have made me wait more and more
of human existence have become the object of scientific and technological control.
This has created great expectations regarding the diagnostic potential
and therapeutics in this field; however, to the increased ability to control
there is an increasing number of situations that pose serious dilemmas
moral standards for researchers, doctors and patients.
In the following reflections we will focus our attention on the issues
bioethics related to the management of the diagnostic potential expressed by
genetic tests.
The first part will be dedicated to a brief overview of the state of the art
genetic testing from a scientific point of view; the second part will deal with
the ethical debate around their uses. The goal we set ourselves,
integrating our competences, respectively biological and bioethical ones,
is to allow you to acquire an overview of the main guidelines
that confront each other in the current bioethical debate, in order to elaborate
in our pluralistic context of an adequate ethical-regulatory framework.
