California dna plan for kids and adults

[Guest guest]

California is set to start screening using about 90 mutations some

time this year; all of those with symptoms and or likely family history

can be screened as well, and anyone can be referred to Quest Diagnos

tics for a complete study of all the mutations. They will, as Colorado

did, start with babies.

Interestingly, in 1976, the usa Health, Education and Welfare Depart

ment, as it was then called decided NOT to screen on the grounds that

if all cases WERE identified, the nation could not afford the care!

There you have it: we are cheaper dead than alive!

Cheers and love to all at cfparents,
