PIRC addresses tax-payer supported genetic counseling programs and the purpose of these programs. <\/p>\n
Holmen, WI (PRWEB) December 28, 2012 <\/p>\n
Anthony Horvath, PIRC Executive Director asks, \"To what end is genetic testing directed and what services do the counselors really provide? Since there are rarely any cures available, doesnt it boil down whether or not to abort the child?\" He continues, \"The founders of genetic counseling in the US knew that it did, and counted on it. Should the American tax-payer be subsidizing eugenic agendas?\" <\/p>\n
The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) is todays foremost advocate of genetic testing and counseling. About the ASHG, Horvath says, \"They were instrumental in developing the genetic counseling programs that we have today and continue to emphasize the importance of theory of evolution on medical genetics. For example, the ASHG has launched a program to educate the judiciary on their understanding of human genetics. In their curriculum, they state the field of genetics is nothing more really than the hand-maiden of evolutionary theory.\" <\/p>\n
\"On top of the grave possibility that eugenics agendas are presently at the back of genetic testing and counseling programs (perhaps unwittingly), there is the fact that these organizations receive huge amounts of our tax money,\" Horvath adds. He calls for the withdraw all government funding for programs outside the parameters laid out for the Federal government by the US Constitution. \"If people and organizations care deeply about something, let them spend their own dollars. As it stands, they have masterfully concealed their work in layers of bureaucracies and agencies, and it is impossible to hold them accountable,\" he says. <\/p>\n
