    Area of Science:

    • Medical Ethics
    • Social Work
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Genetic interventions are increasingly common.
    • These interventions present complex ethical challenges.
    • Social work values may conflict with genetic procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the ethical dilemmas posed by genetic interventions.
    • To discuss the psychosocial implications of genetic screening and selective abortion.
    • To analyze concepts such as genetic health, parental consumerism, and genetic information privacy.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and conceptual analysis.
    • Exploration of ethical frameworks in social work.
    • Discussion of psychosocial factors related to genetic technologies.

    Main Results:

    • Genetic interventions create ethical conflicts with social work principles.
    • Psychosocial implications include altered perceptions of genetic health.
    • The study highlights the evolving role of parents as consumers of genetic services.

    Conclusions:

    • Social workers must navigate the ethical complexities of genetic interventions.
    • Understanding parental perspectives and privacy concerns is crucial.
    • Further dialogue is needed on integrating genetic technologies with social work ethics.
