The genetic testing is used to measure the percentage or level of any risk associated to one's life. By studying gene mutation, it is predictable that a certain disease is likely to be occurring in future. However you may not find any symptoms of diseases until you do not suffer from it. (Mayo clinic staff, 2006). So with the help of genetic testing you can find all possible disease a person can suffer from.

It can be used only to find out the possibility of any risk that can be caused to any life but using genetic experimentation or cloning for the development of new species to experiment on human beings should be banned. The therapeutic cloning refers to the usage of human organs and specific parts of human body to be used for the treatment of any other person.
(Margaret R. McLean, 1998)

The healthier human being is better than a sick one so we can reduce the chances of diseases in new born by using therapeutic procedures. There are several laws that define limits for the using of genetic testing on human being so use of this methodology should be restricted to bringing some benefit to human life rather than to test or experimentation on human beings.
