The relatively new field of genetics and its changes in what we can do raises ethical questions about what we should do. Local geneticist Patricia Wheeler will present several real cases and the moral conundrums they bring with them.
Dr Wheeler has both a MD (from Indiana University School of Medicine) and an MS (in medical and molecular genetics also from IU School of Medicine). She did residencies in both Pediatrics and Clinical Genetics and is board certified in both specialties. She is division chief of Genetics and Metabolism at Nemours Children’s Clinic here in Orlando.
