Today, when technology is opening doors that we didn’t know existed, it is important to enforce laws to ensure that every novel idea leads to the welfare of the society and not cause harm in any way. The discovery of Eugenics came as a revolution where the idea of improving the quality of inheritance in humans has aided in the development of various Assistant reproductive techniques, cytogenetic and molecular diagnostic methods, gene testing etc. Although a revolutionary idea, history holds evidences of how science can turn people blind if ethics don’t come into play. History may have instilled a stigma against any practice associated with the word genetic, but understanding history and the emphasis of ethics today can help in overcoming that. Genetic counselling is one such field where negative eugenics can take over and give deleterious powers to the physicians, which reiterates the importance of ethical interference.
