Clinical genetics asks some of medicine’s most profound questions: how variation shapes health, how inheritance influences risk, and how knowledge of the genome alters identity as much as prognosis.
This chapter explores genetics not as destiny, but as context. In this deep dive, you’ll hear how genetic information is interpreted, communicated, and ethically held — particularly when answers are probabilistic, uncertain, or emotionally charged.
The chapter invites reflection on counselling, consent, and responsibility, reminding us that genetic insight expands possibility as much as it demands care. It is a chapter about foresight, family, and the delicate balance between knowledge and burden.
