https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi What do you think about genetic testing in utero? Is it a good idea? What are the pros and cons? en-us 2022-04-07 12:34:07 UTC 2022-04-20 20:00:56 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139046793 Choosing to genetic test is a personal choice, individual of every family. I don't think it is either good nor bad, as it is just a way to gather information about your child sooner than later. If anything, it can give a family a head start on preparation to ensure the child has the best life possible.]]> 2022-04-11 12:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139046793 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139047481 I do think that genetic testing is okay. It is a good idea, because if your child has any disabilities, then you will know before actually giving birth. It allows for you to prepare for anything to go wrong. When the baby is born you will have a better understanding and idea of how and where to get help. However, it could cause some worry and anxiety, but I think that knowing before you give birth will help prepare better then knowing after ]]> 2022-04-11 12:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139047481 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139047907 I would not want to know because I would be afraid of the side affects and what the test might do. I am not sure if it would harm the baby or not but just to be safe I would say no. I also would love the baby no matter what so there would be no need to know until after birth. In some cases though it may be good.]]> 2022-04-11 12:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139047907 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139047995 I think that genetic testing is a good option to have. Being able to prepare their future based on the traits of your child is easier than getting all the information about them when they are born. It is understandable that a mother wouldn't want to have the test done because they don't want it to change the way they view their child. ]]> 2022-04-11 12:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139047995 annabananabread0130 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139048894 There are many different pros and cons to genetic testing. It could be good because then the parents could be prepared if their child has some abnormalities. On the other hand, it could be bad because if the child does have abnormalities, then the parents might be worried and anxious about their child, the test(s) could cause some side effects, and the parents might not want the child because of the abnormalities. If it were me, I would not want to know.]]> 2022-04-11 12:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139048894 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139049223 genetic testing is a good idea because if ur child has a disability and it requires lots of equipment or medication, you can be prepared. It prepares someone to take care of your child no matter the circumstance. One con is if the condition is really deadly, it is sad knowing that your child is at risk. ]]> 2022-04-11 12:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139049223 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139049418 I think that it's a personal choice for people to have the tests done. I think it is smart in a sense so that you know if your baby has any disabilities or not and that you can be prepared for that.]]> 2022-04-11 12:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139049418 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139049600 I think it is neutral and up to the family, a good thing could be if the baby was born with a condition that might need medical attention right after they are born, so that the doctors can be ready. as long as the idea is to help the child have a good life then it is a good idea ]]> 2022-04-11 12:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139049600 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139050060 I think that genetic testing is a personal choice. It is not good or bad in either way, but can change the way that a person might feel about the child. Genetic testing can help you be prepared in the future for the raising of your child, but some people would see it as a bad thing if their child is different and have and abortion]]> 2022-04-11 12:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139050060 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139050317 I feel like it's good nor bad because it could save the baby or it's just something that won't even matter in their lives. I feel like you should love the baby as it is. But if it's life threating then maybe get it tested but if not I don't think you should. The side effects could hurt you and your baby. But if it were me I wouldn't want to know. ]]> 2022-04-11 12:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139050317 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139050830 I think it is a good idea to find these things out. It could affect your future and you would probably want to prepare for it in any way possible. I think it is important to think about your baby's health and this is a good way to get an idea on what the future holds. It may be cause the parents to worry, but there could also be good outcomes from the test. I feel it is just a good way to ensure the baby's health. ]]> 2022-04-11 12:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139050830 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139050980 Sydney P ]]> 2022-04-11 12:16:16 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139050980 genevas25 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139051333 I believe that genetic testing in utero can be both good and bad. Genetic testing allows the parents of a child to best prepare for their coming infant since children with different genetic disorders have different needs. Genetic testing can also help parents make decisions about whether they can sufficiently provide for their child and its needs, and if not find alternatives such as adoption so that their child can be sufficiently provided for. However, genetic testing is a personal choice and can lead to worry and anxiety for the parents of the child. Also, genetic testing could lead to pressure from medical professionals to terminate the pregnancy, which might not align with the child's parents' views.]]> 2022-04-11 12:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139051333 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139054890 Genetic testing is a personal choice, but I would want to know any genetic abnormalities the baby might have, as it would give time to prepare for the special needs of the child. Though it can be hard to find out about a disability your child may have and some may take very differently than others. This can be from both the parents and classmates when the child starts school. You would have to think about how you would see your child, if you believe that you will look at your child differently in a negative way, don't do the testing, but if you want for the sake of the child, do.]]> 2022-04-11 12:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139054890 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139133234 i believe genetic testing is a personal opinion as to whether it should be done or not. but, i also think that it’s kind of neutral because it can tell you if your child may have some abnormalities so you snd your doctors could be prepared for that but it also could cause the parents to think differently about their child. i just think you need to know the pros and cons before you do it ]]> 2022-04-11 13:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139133234 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139245074 I think that genetic testing in utero is overall a good idea. This is because if the child does happen to have a genetic abnormality, the parent can have enough time to prepare both mentally and by buying the necessary equipment to properly care for the child. It would not be so great if the child was born without any heads up of a disability. One con of utero genetic testing is that it may change the parents' view of the child and they may change their minds about having the child. ]]> 2022-04-11 14:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139245074 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139246757 I think it's a good idea because it can give the parents an idea of what to expect with their baby. Doctors would be able to tell and explain to the parents if they found any abnormalities, which then the doctors could peruse how to handle the situation safely. If the baby did have something wrong with it then the parents could prepare themselves and their home. ]]> 2022-04-11 14:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2139246757 https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2150941913 I feel that genetic testing has both positive and negative attributes. For example it is beneficial because it provides crucial information, about a child, that the parents can use to better the child's life. On the contrary, knowing possible bad characteristics or abnormalities may cause the parents to have a negative outlook of the child and potentially not want it. ]]> 2022-04-20 20:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaromeo1/v0ez6uuh0tpnzfdi/wish/2150941913
