Genetic Counselor

It’s been a while since we first heard the term “designer babies”, but it isn’t gone just yet. Thanks to genomics, it is possible to predict genetic abnormalities that may threaten a child’s health or way of living. While doctors can churn out the details, genetic counselors will be needed to help future parents make the best choices for their children – choices they are also comfortable with. It is also an existing job, with about 2,000 counselors recognized by the American Board of Genetic Counseling, according to MSNBC.
