Read Proposed Treatment To Fix Genetic Diseases Raises Ethical Issues by Rob Stein
What advice did doctors give Lori Martin?
A
She should be tested for Leigh's syndrome because
her child was born with it.
B
She should not have any more biological children
because she is a carrier of Leigh's Syndrome.
С
It is okay for her to have more children because they
are unlikely to develop the syndrome.
D
She should have a child with a different partner
because they would have different genes.
Answer: B. She should not have any more biological children because she is a carrier of Leigh's Syndrome
Explanation:
Lori Martin is a 33 years old woman from Houston. After discovering her son had been born with Leigh's syndrome, she was advised by her doctors not to have any more children because, given that she´s a carrier of said disease, the same would happen to any embryo she could produce.
Stein brings up Martin´s case as an example of someone who could benefit from a new technique that allows the removal of unwanted DNA from an embryo.
