Emerging research suggests that exposures occurring years before conception are important determinants of the health of future offspring and subsequent generations. Environmental exposures of both the father and mother, or exposure to disease processes such as obesity or infections, may influence germline cells and thereby cause a cascade of health outcomes in multiple subsequent generations. There is now increasing evidence that respiratory health is influenced by parental exposures that occur long before conception.

Article Synopsis
  • The review discusses the rapid advancements in genetic testing for breast cancer patients, especially those with BRCA1/2 mutations, which now have broader therapeutic implications.
  • It highlights a shift from traditional genetic testing methods towards more accessible, oncology-led models that integrate testing into standard cancer care, though challenges remain in interpreting results.
  • The introduction of new treatments, like poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitors, necessitates urgent updates in genetic testing guidelines to better serve patients as predictive therapeutic biomarkers instead of just hereditary risk factors.

Toward Public Bioethics?

Hastings Cent Rep

May 2017

This issue of the Hastings Center Report (May-June 2017) features a couple of interesting takes on the governance challenges of emerging technologies. In an essay on the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine report published this February on human germ-line gene editing, Eric Juengst, a philosopher at the University of North Carolina, argues that the NASEM committee did not manage to rethink the rules. Juengst reaches what he calls an "eccentric conclusion": "The committee's 2017 consensus report has been widely interpreted as 'opening the door' to inheritable human genetic modification and holding a line against enhancement interventions.
