Genetic Disorders

Editor Katherine Swarts has provided an interesting exploration into genetic disorders through this pro versus con arrangement of several essays from a variety of well-respected authorities. Should children with disorders be integrated into mainstream school districts or receive private, special education? Should prenatal testing for genetic disorders be equated with eugenics? Does embryonic stem cell research pose ethical considerations? Do siblings of children with genetic disorders develop behavioral problems? These questions, and several more, are addressed by experts, allowing your readers to benefit from more than one intelligent viewpoint for every answer.
