Dr. Matt Doyle, thank you for the kind words!

I must corrigate myself as I got closer to personalized genetics… So dealing with the personal genes is more important than genetic screening itself…

I’ll talk about it later in a longer post.

I just found your blog through that article. I too am a blogger, and medical, although in different circles to yourself. I was troubled by your talk of increased “genetic screening” for diseases prenatally and at birth, which seems to imply destroying life in order to preserve our society from ill-health. This seems to tread the path towards eugenics, and I despair that medicine would be used as such destructive tool.

I look forward to blogging more about ethics in medicine, but having just started my first house job, I am quite preoccupied, and will have to settle into things a little first.

All the best with your career and electronic endeavours.
