What really happens to your baby's DNA after the newborn heel prick test? Most parents are never told the full story.
Dr Daniel Pompa sits down with Attorney Leah Wilson from Stand for Health Freedom to discuss newborn screening, informed consent, genetic privacy, and the growing use of DNA data. They explore what parents should know about genetic testing, whole genome sequencing, and why a genetic variant is not the same as a diagnosis.
The conversation also examines the future of personalized medicine, the ethics of storing DNA from birth, and the importance of asking informed questions before making lifelong health decisions.
