Abstract
"El desarrollo de la Genética Humana ha puesto a disposición de la Medicina potentes recursos para investigar los cambios en el material genético subyacentes a diversas enfermedades en pacientes individuales y sus familias. Semejante capacidad diagnóstica suele exceder en mucho a la capacidad de brindar una terapéutica específica, por lo que su utilidad médica reside en el perfeccionamiento del diagnóstico, la estimación del pronóstico clínico, y el cálculo del riesgo de recurrencia para futuros hermanos e hijos de un paciente dado; el paciente y/o su familia, por su parte, suelen buscar en el diagnóstico genético una certeza que les permita limitar su ansiedad. En Pediatría, el consenso mayoritario es que en los niños se justifica la investigación genética diagnóstica, que la investigación predictiva puede hacerse si la afección investigada permite una intervención médicamente beneficiosa durante la niñez, y que la del estado de portación debe diferirse hasta que el paciente alcance un cierto grado de madurez y competencia. El propósito de este trabajo es plantear los aspectos bioéticos y legales relacionados con la investigación de una familia que está segregando una mutación para adrenoleucodistrofia ligada al X, en la que por diversas circunstancias se estudió a menores de edad. Se discute la naturaleza de la enfermedad, el hecho de que tres de los individuos estudiados eran menores de edad, el rol proactivo de los padres en el proceso de toma de decisiones conducente a la investigación de tales miembros, y la existencia de un marco legal específico para la intervención."

    Report of the Commission on Christian Action

    Reformed Church in America (2001)
    Genetic technology is a broad term that includes genetically engineered food, animal and human cloning, use of stem cells, gene therapy, gene replacement, genetic enhancement, genetic testing, and genetic screening. This paper focuses on genetic testing and screening, two of the most commonly used genetic technologies. The commission hopes to address issues raised by some of the other areas of genetic technologies in future papers.

    Genetic Testing and Predictive Medicine

    Conference of European Churches; Commission for Church and Society Working Group on Bioethics (2003-10)
    "Over the last few decades, we have seen a major change in the field of medicine, due to the development of the science of human genetics. The traditional focus on diseases themselves has now turned towards the risk of illness. This evolution may make possible the understanding, treatment or even prevention of some diseases. With the help of good quality genetic counselling families, may in some cases, have the opportunity to avoid passing on to their descendents serious conditions and thus change the destiny which weighs over those affected."

    O Banco de Perfis Genéticos Brasileiro Três Anos após a Lei nº 12.654 [The Brazilian Genetic Profile Database Three Years after Law No. 12,654]

    Garrido, Rodrigo Grazinoli; Leal Rodrigues, Eduardo (Observatori de Bioètica i Dret - Universitat de Barcelona, 2015)
    "Apesar de bancos de perfis genéticos para persecução penal serem estabelecidos há cerca de vinte anos nos EUA e no Reino Unido, no Brasil, somente após a Lei n° 12.654/2012 passou-se a admitir tal realidade. Indiscutivelmente, esta ferramenta contribui para a resolução de crimes. Entretanto, há muitas contradições legais e bioéticas sobre a coleta, a estocagem e a utilização de dados genéticos, pois há a possibilidade de uma aplicação acrítica dos avanços biotecnológicos. Propõe-se apresentar o desenvolvimento histórico dos bancos de perfis genéticos, além de discutir as principais contradições legais e bioéticas sobre o uso da informação genética com fins criminais. Concluindo que o armazenamento destas informações deve sempre estar submetido à legislação específica, desenvolvida e aplicada com proporcionalidade. Além disso, tais normatizações devem ser calçadas por uma discussão bioética firmada na precaução e na responsabilidade" ["Although genetic profiles database for criminal prosecution are established for some twenty years in the U.S. and the UK, in Brazil, only after the Law No. 12,654/2012 happened to admit this reality. Undoubtedly, this tool helps to solve crimes. However, there are many legal and bioethical contradictions about the collection, storage and use of genetic data, because there is the possibility of an uncritical application of biotechnological advances. It was proposed to present the historical development of genetic profiles database, in addition to discussing major legal and bioethical contradictions about the use of genetic information for criminal purposes. Concluding that the storage of this information must always be subjected to specific legislation developed and applied with proportionality. Moreover, such norms shall be cushioned by a bioethical discussion grounded in caution and responsibility"]
