The issues raised are very good ones that deserve thought and discussion among many people. I should note that these issues are not new and certainly not unique to genetic cases of stuttering. Because of their importance, an office within the Human Genome Institute here at the National Institutes of Health has been established and funded for quite a few years. This is the Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues (ELSI) office, and I strongly encourage everyone to take a look at their website: http://www.genome.gov/ELSI/
