title: Geneticists approach ethics: an international survey.
abstract: Fletcher, Berg and Tranøy (1985) proposed that medical geneticists around the world would benefit from collective reflection on their preferred approaches to the most frequent of the difficult moral choices in practical genetics. In 1985-86, Wertz & Fletcher undertook a survey of geneticists' views in 19 nations. Results were widely disseminated. In this paper, the authors describe a new survey that they are conducting in 37 nations.
