1). Genetic screening or genetic information is generally used to predict the occurrence of diseases in a person. But, it must be noted that the presence of a mutation or any disease-causing gene does not always result in disease occurrence. After genetic screening, the physician need to inform the information to the patient, this can help to minimize the disease severity or prevent the disease development.

Though this is the case, the patient may not develop the disease even there is a mutation, in such cases, all the mental strain and physical strain and financial strain of the patient cannot be justified. Also, there are more chances for abusing the genetic data in the crime areas and leakage of genetic data to a third person without the person\'s concern. Due to these factors, using the genetic data and genetic screening is facing ethical concerns.
