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.

Now, no company can get a patent on a gene and doctors are able to send out tests to a variety of researchers who may have a treatment that will improve the quality of life for people ill with cancer, kidney disease, breast cancer, and a wide range of other diseases that people will suffer from on a daily basis.

Before the ruling, the right to conduct such tests was denied to physicians and care givers and people that were afflicted with life threatening diseases had no recourse but to endure a great deal of suffering until that company that owned the gene rights did the testing. By Law, no other source could do that vital testing due to ownership rights.

Before the Supreme Court ruling, many patients were hindered from getting the genetics test because the cost for the testing soared in the thousands, which is not a figure that most citizens on limited budgets could afford to try. Since the Courts decision, women are able to schedule a variety of tests that will help provide answers to medical issues and other issues that affect the ability to live normal lives.

Genetics can be examined by an agency involved in providing health and welfare payments to a parent for the care of a child whose parentage is questioned. The exams will give the agency the evidence it needs to demand that the parent be held accountable and pay the child support each month. Without that evidence, some parents will not step up and take responsibility for the care of a child.

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.

Some patients will ask the Courts for permission to conduct a full array of testing so that certain suspicions can be ruled out. Recent changes in health or mental attitude might lead some people to think that there is some medical condition present that is making them act weird or out of the ordinary. Some families use the DNA testing process to create a record which could be used if a child was lost.

Some people will pursue court genetic exams to ensure that reproductive organs are functioning properly. From an amniocentesis, a parent can learn whether an unborn child is growing abnormally. Some traits can be identified through the testing and parents may choose to terminate the pregnancy rather than give birth to a child with birth defects.
