Scientists push for new wave of eugenics with genome testing for all newborns

‘Soon, doctors and scientists expect to begin controversial genome sequencing of healthy newborn babies, part of a research program funded by the federal government on behalf of genetic science.

As reported by The Wall Street Journal, the research will be conducted at major hospitals and health institutions around the country. The project “stems from a growing recognition that genome sequencing could someday be part of routine testing done on every baby,” the paper said in its online edition.

That kind of testing, backers say, will give doctors and parents lots of information which could reveal a wider range of possible risks to their children’s health later in life — much more so than the current traditional heel-prick test in which blood is taken from a small number of newborns to check for dozens of potential health issues.’
