GenePlanet is aware of the ethical considerations connected with genetic research. Services provided by GenePlanet do not serve to diagnose genetic diseases. This aspect falls under the jurisdiction of medicine. GenePlanet's duty is to evaluate the predisposition for various diseases and the physical and psychological potentials of the client in relation to the rest of the population. By doing so, it depends on the data published in the highly respected scientific journals. GenePlanet waives the right to evaluate the risk for diseases which still do not offer any chance of survival (e.g. motor neuron disease). GenePlanet's main goal is to offer information which enables:
- An adequate lifestyle change, where possible,
- To direct attention to a genetic predisposition for diseases which can be detected in early stages with more frequent preventive checkups and can thus be treated sooner.
