Abstract
The political and social dimensions of modern technologies of genetic diagnosis are generally analysed in an unequivocal manner. This is a misleading view. An argument is developed in this essay to review two different and alternative future scenarios. The first reflects on the possibility that the use of genetic diagnosis may lead to the questioning of welfare states in advanced industrial societies. The second contends that, because of the social uncertainty brought about by these new techniques, emerging agreements of solidarity can be achieved in those countries without national systems of health.
