Genetic testing is used for the following reason(s):
- Carrier screening.
- Prenatal diagnostic testing.
- Presymptom testing.
- All of the above
Correct Answer

A. All of the above

Explanation

- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

This statement is false because role models and mentors can vary significantly among different cultures.

Legal implications to the various aspects of genetic engineering might include:
- Informed consent of all parties involved.
- Confidentiality of all parties involved.
- Payment for procedures to be performed.
- All of the above
Correct Answer

A. All of the above

Explanation

The legal implications of genetic engineering are extensive and involve multiple aspects. Informed consent is necessary to ensure that all parties involved are fully aware of the risks and benefits of the procedures. Confidentiality is crucial to protect the privacy and personal information of those involved. Additionally, payment for procedures is an important consideration to ensure fair compensation for the services provided. Therefore, all of the mentioned options (informed consent, confidentiality, and payment) are potential legal implications of genetic engineering.

Euthanasia:
- Literally means “good death.”
- Has come to refer to action that takes the life of another.
- Is a personal choice that does not affect health care providers.
- A and B
Correct Answer

A. A and B

Explanation

The correct answer is A and B. Euthanasia literally means "good death" and has come to refer to actions that take the life of another. This implies that euthanasia involves intentionally ending someone's life, which can be considered as a form of assisted suicide or mercy killing. The statement "Is a personal choice that does not affect healthcare providers" is incorrect because euthanasia involves the participation of healthcare providers who administer the lethal dose or perform the act.
