[Ethical problems in modern genetics. Results of a questionnaire].
New findings on the possible application of DNA diagnosis in the prevention of hereditary diseases are associated also with ethical problems of medical genetics. A questionnaire programme evaluated the views of respondents (743) on four groups of questions: 1. state of information on health status, 2. examination of members of the family, 3. compulsory treatment, 4. preventive measures. The authors sought mutual associations between the replies to individual questions and characteristics of respondents. Development of medicine calls for interdisciplinary health education and the solution of newly arisen ethical and legal problems.
