Ethical problems arise in connection with the application of the technique to patients and with the possibility to cure embryos. The potentialities of preventive medicine have affected even hiring criteria, in that individuals who present enzymic deficiencies can be considered at risk when working in contact with certain substances. For example, firms could decide not to advance certain individuals to positions of responsibility on the grounds that they present the gene of familial hypercholesterolemia. It can be anticipated that the diagnostic potentialities of the recombinant DNA technique will be applied to the evaluation of risk for the stipulation of life insurance, and that further developments, permitting to determine the genetic predisposition for most diseases, would altogether nullify the basic principles of health- and life-insurance policies. An international committee will have to discuss these issues and to formulate deontological rules to regulate both the sphere of occupation and that of insurance.</p>","PeriodicalId":75386,"journal":{"name":"Acta medicinae legalis et socialis","volume":"40 ","pages":"253-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13289613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Other factors of importance, such as susceptibility to radio frequency interference and variation in the power supply voltage were also examined. On the basis of the above criteria, three instruments were identified as more suitable than the remainder for evidential use. These three instruments are based on the principle of absorption of infra-red radiation in the 9.5 um region and are the Drager Alcotest 7110, Siemens Alcomat V5.2F and Seres Ethylometre 679. Although the specificity of these instruments was adequate for most substances tested, it was not absolute. As a result, if these devices were introduced for evidential purposes, arguments may arise in the courts with respect to specificity of the devices for ethanol. Such arguments could not be resolved without recourse to physiological and toxicological data.</p>","PeriodicalId":75386,"journal":{"name":"Acta medicinae legalis et socialis","volume":"40 ","pages":"95-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13289624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
