Using rapid whole-genome sequencing (WGS), an infant's genome can now be sequenced in as little as 26 hours allowing for rapid diagnosis and precise, individualized management of monogenetic causes of disease. The potential for decreasing cost and valuable time to diagnosis along with pain and suffering is becoming a reality in the NICU. Coupled with rapidly developing technology is a need to explore the associated ethical implication.
通过快速全基因组测序（WGS），现在可以在短短26小时内对婴儿的基因组进行测序，从而实现对单基因疾病病因的快速诊断和精确、个性化管理。在新生儿重症监护病房（NICU），降低成本、缩短诊断所需的宝贵时间以及减少痛苦的可能性正在成为现实。与快速发展的技术相伴而来的是探索相关伦理问题的必要性。
