It's Heeeeere

Just watched a Nightline story about Jessica, a 35-year-old single woman who is having a preemptive double mastectomy after testing positive for a gene mutation that is known to result in breast and ovarian cancers. She's considering having her ovaries removed preemptively, as well, but she's holding off on that decision for five years so she can have children. If she has not married in that time, she will consider other means to have children.

The future of medical ethics is here. Counseling is about to get a lot...different.

Are we ready?
