title: Recombinant DNA technology: chances, risks, ethical considerations.
abstract: In recent years, undesirable costs and the likely payoffs of DNA technology have been widely discussed. In this paper, the author concentrates on molecular genetic diagnostics. One of the main benefits of molecular genetic diagnostics is its predictive potential. However, the predictive dimension inherent in this type of diagnostics also gives rise to a host of problems.
