The theoretic part focuses on introducing the issues of genetic testing. This thesis puts emphasis especially on ethical reflection of genetic testing issues such as genetic discrimination, genetic testing of children, and interpretation of the results of predictive genetic testing. Definition of the principle of human dignity as a moral basis of the predictive medicine, and analysis of selected documents, agreements, and programmes relating to human dignity and rights related to the field of genetic testing will be also included.
