You are invited to a Lunch-and-Learn session sponsored by the hospital where you are currently completing your clinical rotations. The hospital’s Ethics Committee is scheduled to discuss the interdependence of genetics, genomics, and ethics. The following disease processes are slated for discussion: Sickle cell disease, Huntington’s disease, Down syndrome, Hemophilia, and Phenylketonuria (PKU). Select one of these genetic disease processes to address in this assignment. As you review the resources available to you, develop a concept map.
