Roundtable discussion: 'Does genetic and genomic screening keep open the door to eugenics?' (Part 1)

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) History of Genomics Program holds a virtual roundtable on the complexities surrounding historical and present-day eugenics, scientific racism and ableism in the context of genetic and genomic screening and diagnostic technologies. An internationally recognized group of experts, uniquely spanning humanistic and scientific expertise, answer questions about eugenics and genetic counseling as well as address significant societal, bioethical and philosophical issues, such as those surrounding preimplantation genetic diagnosis, noninvasive prenatal testing and newborn sequencing and screening.
