I found this article to be very intriguing, I personally have an interest in pediatric health in relations to gene expression, so this article definitely sparked my interest. The mindset and goals of the researchers was very inspiring, they are doing all that they can to increase the life-span of these newborns without burdening the babies or their families. Researchers offered counseling and consent to the parents of the newborn and conducted the research under regulations and ethical guidelines. You can tell there was a very strong moral stance taken with this project. Due to the outcome of the diagnostic testing, parents can now make better decisions about genetic counseling, reproductive choices, and future family planning. The results have also attributed to avoiding expensive and pointless clinical care for the newborns, and the university is overseeing preconception screenings that will detect autosomal recessive disease genes in couples who want to start a family. I hope to see more groundbreaking research such as this in the future of science and medicine.
