摘要：

Potential uses, abuses and control of genetic screening techniques are discussed and the ethical issues arising from their use are compared with those for existing health screening practices. The main emphasis is upon issues affecting employment but more wide ranging implications are also touched upon. Although the current policy oi various bodies is described, the views expressed are personal.
