| 摘要 | In this intentionally provocative and provisional account,the author attempts to distinguish among the relative weights to be given future and present concerns in the delivery of genetic information. He begins with a statement that indicates his bias towards concern for the individual in counseling and argues for a limited purview towards future generations. Among the indications for this de-emphasis, he cites 1) the inefficiency of negative eugenic counseling directed towards affected individuals for reducing the future burden of autosomal recessive genetic disease; 2) the need to minimize the immediate arena of suffering over and above a future one; and 3) the primacy of the counselor's obligation to the family within his/her purview. He concludes by advocating a recognition of an eastern (Buddhist) ethic of suffering as relevant to the situation of the genetic counselor. |
