Abstract

The note examines how cultural, political, and religious ideologies influence the use and regulation of prenatal genetic testing in China and Ireland, highlighting their contrasting approaches. China's liberal policies, driven by population control and economic considerations, contrast sharply with Ireland's conservative stance, rooted in Catholic teachings. The analysis critiques both countries' approaches against the ethical guidelines set by the NIH Workshop, emphasizing the need for a balanced regulatory framework that respects individual autonomy and cultural values.
