With the completion of the human genome project, there is the potential for “improved diagnosis of disease; early detection of genetic predisposition to disease; and customized drug therapies to meet the health needs of diverse ancestral groups throughout the world were a few of the espoused benefits of successfully decoding and uncovering the human genome sequence” (Powell-Young & Spruill, 2013, p. 151). Does this mean that everyone should have the opportunity for genetic testing? Or does this simply mean that the potential is there to improve health of certain populations?
