dc.description.abstractGenetic counselling in the African milieu is broadly discussed before consideration of the ethical problems involved. It is pointed out that ethics cannot be dictated by geneticists or even theologians but by the personal persuasion of the counsellor. The author being quite conversant with the scientific humanist's ethical position on abortion and related topics rejects that position and claims the christian view with its emphasis first on the individual and only later on society. Peculiar ethical problems related to the African situation are mentioned. � 2004 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.; Medline is the source for the MeSH terms of this document.
