Twenty years after, advanced genome sequencing technologies enable us to analyze whole genome while they also encourage us to reconsider the ethical norms. The current topics are such us secondary findings and actionability, support for telling the genetic secrets to biological relatives, duty of confidentiality and duty of care to third parties, indivisibility in research and diagnosis and pre-implantation genetic testing for monogenic/single gene defects.
