Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Biology and Society The incidence of births with Down’s syndrome increases markedly after the age of 35 for mothers. Do you think that mothers over the age of 35 should seek fetal testing?

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Biology and Society These are two mammograms—the one on the left is normal and the one on the right indicates a tumor. Genetic tests are now available to screen for women with a high genetic risk for developing breast cancer. Some women in this situation have opted for a radical mastectomy before the appearance of a tumor. As a doctor would you consider advising your patient in this manner?

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Biology and Society One of the first human cell lines to survive indefinitely was that derived from a cancer patient who died in Known as the HeLa line for Henrietta Lacks, the cell line continues today in laboratories throughout the world and is even available for high school classrooms to study karyotyping. In 1951 people didn’t fully realize the potential applications of unique cells or DNA. Do you think that a patient should retain all rights to their cells or DNA during medical procedures?
