All babies born in Minnesota hospitals have a blood sample taken, which is used to test for a panel of about 50 genetic diseases. The rationale is that some infants have genetic diseases that can be effectively treated only if they are diagnosed shortly after birth. Imagine that you are having a baby. The hospital offers to include you in a pilot program in which your baby would get a complete genome sequence instead, at no cost to you. Would you choose to participate?
