Many people {have heard of genetics test, but how many people actually know what the consequences of having a genetics test is?} Genetics testing can reveal information that can influence the{ lives of the patient and the lives of their family members. } The relevance and accuracy of genetics testing is an important factor in determining whether we should continue with the risk of getting a genetics test. To understand the risks of getting tested, several factors of the test have to be evaluated, the accuracy of genetics testing, what the results can reveal, and psychological effects of having a genetics test. In evaluating these items, we can present to governmental agencies the importance of regulating the {use of genetics tests and having protocols for testing facilities.} In testimony by Dr. Kathy Hudson, director of Genetics and Public Policy Center,” The information provided by genetic tests is used to make profound, sometimes life-and-death, decisions. It is therefore imperative that this information be accurate and reliable and relevant to a patient’s health.”

Anti “God” The words, “under God”, were entered in the pledge solely for religious reasons and is unconstitutional. –Judge Alfred T. Goodwin It feels like other than justice and patriotism, it is also promoting monotheism. The words “under God” is a religious term and constitutes the endorsement of religion by the government, the word God does not appear anywhere in the Constitution that regulates the separation of state and church showing that the founding fathers also believe the word “God” should not be associated to any national representation or documents. – Michael E. Nolan Separation of church and state is an ideal that was put forth by the forefathers to symbolize the freedom Americans should have and forcing religious words in national representations is violating the very freedom that was issued to the public. Saying the words doesn’t mean you believe God, so why push it on those who are not sincere. -Mike Macauley Pro “God” Abolishment of the word, God or any other spiritual values may change the history of America from the national anthem to the president’s speeches ending in “God bless America”. This will impoverish public ceremonies stopping the use of prayers and soothing words towards an upper being. Conception of separation of state and church has been blown out of proportion. The nation known for acceptance of diversity is restricting the very beliefs that represents the American tolerance and justice. –Jay Perry The beliefs of the godless population is overbearing those beliefs that started the idea of a free country starting with the founding fathers of the United States. By banning religious objects and representations, the country is restraining the people who believe in God from expressing their views. – Darin Stratton Currency in the US, all contain the words “In God we trust”. This brings up the idea of not being obliged to use US currency just because it refers to God like the Pledge of Allegiance. –Angie Anderson The population of Atheists are a minority compared to the majority of people who doesn’t have a problem with God. Because the majority believe in God, along with those who started the country, we should go along with the majority votes. -Audrey Jagels Why are atheists so afraid of saying the word God? Let those who believe pledge their allegiance. -Ed Carlson The line of argument missing is the proposal of what should be done in order to solve this disagreement between the two opposing groups. None of the responses to the article or the article itself proposes any solution to the problem of disagreements to the incorporation of religion to state representations in the future. Banning the words “under God” from the Pledge may lead to more problems in the future with all historical documents or relics that include spiritual values from being used.

One of the many causes that contribute to the lack of federal laws is the lack of guidelines genetics tests have to follow. Many issues relating to the privacy and use of genetics tests are only incorporated into other federal laws. Guidelines to genetics testing need to be unified. In many medical fields, the performance and results of each test requires consent by the patient, a record on the patient’s procedures are recorded, and an agreement to release the information is signed to be used by any practitioner or doctor. The guidelines for genetics testing hasn’t even been drafted compared to the multiple requirements written for a normal medical procedure. The basis of genetics testing has to be drafted in order for a unified federal law to be passed. Genetics tests is a farily nerw procedure within the past century. The guidelines that regulates a gentics tests in very limited. Gentetics testing hascuased many ethical issue in by how it is used. The lack of federal laws in the US reflects how genetics testing is not ufied. The guidelines to perform and practice on genetic data has been regulated but vis very limited in the aviaable guidelines neede to redtrict thhow the imforamation is used. Genteics testing need to be unified like how medical records area. The use of medical records are protected by many laws and guidelines. The Assistance od medical precedures reqires many documentations to protexct the well-being of a erson’s medica data. Genetics testinf falls in the same category as medical procedures, The lack of laws is causing the use of genetics testing to be used in unethical ways. The tests are being used without consent of the patient for Experiments or research ofof various new ideas. Unlike medical research, which requires consent, and proper agreements on the use of the tests perfornmed, gentics testing have very few guidelines that restrict the uncontrooabl euse of a person’s infprmaton. The ethics in the use of geteics tests are being put to the limits. The laws that do goverm genetics testing are usually incorporated into other laws that pre-exist. These laws may be the basis on whow the tests are governex, but until a law that pertains onl;y to genetoics tes, are made, athe use of geneticstest
