The concept of the paper pertains to the significance of genetic screening to parents, with regard to, personality development of children. The paper speaks of “necessity of genetic screening to get to know personality flaws of the child”. This aids the parents in behavioural shaping, as well as, drafting a particular idea that revolves around genetic disorders, as well as, personality disorders. The parents would rear the child in a prompter manner, and yield a more responsible individual towards self and the society. The rationale of the paper is based upon the premise that personality disorders, that are not yet evident in the child, could only be screened through genetic screening, whereas, parents have the right to know about them in advance, in order to, prevent them and yield a better individual persona to the society.

Engaging story
The reason for choosing the story entailed as under;
The story pertains to Jane Andreson. She is a single parent, as well as, a working mother. She looks after her three children Anthony, marques and tom. All three of the kids were born absolutely normal. However, Anthony developed a strong personality disorder when he reached the age of five. He developed the anxious and fearful disorder, and tend to behave very aghast. He developed the particular isolation, and hated to interact with people. He was expelled from the school and later on, was admitted to special school. Anthony could not continue educarion due to his phobia with human interaction.
When he reached the age of five, Jane came to know about the personality disorder. She investigated and the doctors were surprised, since it was never clinically evident. When underwent Genetic screening, the results showed that the child had a tendency for becoming fearful, due to abusive behaviours of his father towards his mother when he was being conceived. The child develop a tendency to feel fearfulness, however, the doctors found out that if the flaw would have been identified through genes earlier, the child would have been reared up with measures that induce confidence and eradicate fear.
The story entailed above, and million other cases advocate the process of genetic screening for assessing personality flaws and letting parents know about them, so that, they make a measure about it in advance. In terms of bio-ethics, the process of genetic engineering is unethical, or somewhat questionable. However, it is evident that mere clinical exams are not able to identify genetic or personality disorders unless they are physically evident, and that iften occurs too late. This bosts the significance of genetic screening, not for meely the new born category but for every child, so that parents should have identified the areas where grater effort in needed.
