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.

Owning a gene strand is not possible through this ruling because genes are a product that comes from the natural sources derived from nature. Since no corporate entity can own the genes that contain markers for cancer causing diseases, the tests that diagnose or rule out cancer in the persons gene pool can be sent to a wider range of resources. Treatment for those people affected by diseases of the kidney and those suffering from breast cancer will improve because other sources of testing can be used.

Prior to the ruling made by the Supreme Court, doctors were restricted from sending tests and blood samples to any one other than the company which owned the patent for a particular set of cancer genes. Studies on these genes were limited to women and tests were done only on women who were part of certain age ranges.

The testing fees that were charged by the owner of the genes patent were high and most people that were fighting diseases could not afford to pay those costs. Since the tests can be sent to outside sources, the cost for testing for genetic disorders have dramatically dropped. Women in all age groups can now afford to be tested for any medical abnormality and get treatment and live a happier life.

A person may be able to benefit from the genetics identified through Court ordered exams if the right agency is the one placing the request. An unmarried mother that is supported by Government funding can receive DNA tests so that the father of the unborn child can be identified. The judicial system will hold that parent responsible for paying financial support until the child is an adult.

Through more detailed testing, a family history is thoroughly examined through a microscope, and many medical symptoms can be diagnosed because the trait for the disease can be traced through family members for many generations. Many States hesitate to process such tests that require genetics traces without a order from a judge. The tests are also ordered by physicians to quell patients fears.

The results for this type of examination will help substantiate a patients suspicions that a problem exists with their own health. Some patients will choose to submit to DNA testing just so they will have a record of the information on file at home should a relative be discovered at some point in their life or a death occurs in the family and the test will confirm that the deceased is a family member.

Some citizens might choose to protect reproductive rights by using court genetic exams to prove that their reproductive organs are performing as they should be naturally. A parent can view the test results and know that an unborn child is developing well, and is free of any birth defect abnormalities.
