My roles in the Genetic Testing in Newborn Infants project were parent of a newborn and a lawyer. This project taught me that as a parent of a newborn I would have to take into consideration the stress that testing my child would put me under as well as how much testing and treating my child for possible diseases would cost. As a lawyer I would have to take into consideration the rights of the parents and the child and also the policies and ethical controversies that the screening may cause. With both rules a lot of long hard thinking would have to be done.
