Recent advances in genetic technology, including the availability of presymptomatic genetic (ie. predictive) testing for untreatable late-onset conditions, have created a number of practice challenges for social workers. This article outlines the social worker's role in the internationally accepted protocol for provision of predictive testing for Huntington Disease (HD) and highlights some of the complex ethical, emotional and practical issues arising from predictive testing for HD and other similar disorders. For social workers in this field, attempts to deal with ethical dilemmas must rely both on the social work code of ethics and on reference to major principles of bioethics such as respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice. It is acknowledged that in some situations involving a conflict of ethical principles there may be no ideal resolution. |
