After a brief introduction, the role of medical genetics in modern ethical conflicts is emphasized. International working approaches are discussed in an attempt to solve medical conflicts. The studies proposed by Wertz and Fletcher are reviewed in order to assess the strength of consensus on various working approaches. A brief discussion evaluates working approaches to ethical problems in genetics. This discussion also focuses on genetic counselling and screening questions regarding pertinent hereditary diseases. Final considerations point out the demanding role played by the modern geneticist in medical ethics perspectives now broadened by new insights, namely the challenge of human genome mapping.
在进行简要介绍后，强调了医学遗传学在现代伦理冲突中的作用。讨论了国际工作方法，试图解决医学冲突。对韦尔茨和弗莱彻提出的研究进行了综述，以评估各种工作方法上的共识强度。对遗传学伦理问题的工作方法进行了简要讨论。该讨论还聚焦于有关相关遗传性疾病的遗传咨询和筛查问题。最后的思考指出了现代遗传学家在因新见解而拓宽的医学伦理视角中所扮演的艰巨角色，即人类基因组图谱绘制的挑战。
