Question Reflection: The Genetic RevolutionPurpose: Direct-to-consumer genetic testing has become readily available. Kits can be easily and relatively inexpensively purchased at retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Amazon. With the easy accessibility and affordable costs, it seems that nearly anyone can access medical technology that was previously only available after consultation with a health care provider. But genetic testing should not be taken lightly and is not without ethical challenges. In this discussion, you will consider questions that have likely never crossed your mind when reviewing those 23 & Me and Ancestry DNA ads.Task: This is an individual reflection assignment.Prior to beginning your reflection, explore the following websites.https://www.ancestry.com/dna/ (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)https://www.23andme.com/ (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)For this reflection, you will individually address the following questions in 4 – 5 paragraphs (total):Who owns genetic information?What ethical issues come to mind with regards to genetics and genomics (AKA personalized medicine)?Who owns kids’ genetic information?
