The Ethics and Legal Considerations of Genetic Testing Genetic testing is ideally performed for many valid clinical purposes. The sheer breadth and depth of genetic testing makes a sweeping ethical/moral judgment about genetic testing impossible; rather, the healthcare professional will have to apply his/her ethical education and experience on a case-by-case basis. Singapore currently has no law governing genetic testing per se. In 2000, the Singapore Cabinet appointed "The Bioethics Advisory Committee" to review genetic testing practices and make recommendations. The Committee prepared an exhaustive report with 24 ethical/moral recommendations. Aside from the herculean efforts of Singapore's Bioethics Advisory Committee, several philosophical/ethical theories can be applied to genetic testing. Kant's Mills' and Gilligan's theories all seem too subjective to adequately judge Genetic Testing. However, Ross' 4 Prima Faci principles are commonly used in conjunction with the Code of Professional Conduct to adjudge ethical considerations of Genetic Testing on a case-by-case basis.

The difference between these articles and that of the two quoted studies is several-fold. Firstly, both McMillan and Small (2007) and Rosedale and Fu (2010) feature a certain disease - cancer – and described reduction of pain in connection with that. Ferrell and Coyles (2010), on the other hand, was more general, drawing up lists of drugs that are allegedly helpful in reducing pain, describing these drugs, and using their research studies to advice patients on all matters related to these drugs including their limitations. Tables, too, generously sprinkle their commentary and categorize the information in clear form. Ferrell and Coyles (2010), therefore, provided their readers with a descriptive meta-analytic study that was intended for the informative intent of caregivers (and patients). Readers are accorded the information of the various drugs available to them for relieving their pain (or the pain of patients). All necessary details are also provided so that readers can know when to best apply them.
