摘要: Economic appraisal of genetics services is important, but, in this sensitive area, analyses limited to financial aspects understandably cause public concern. Evaluation these must take account their aim helping everyone with a genetic disadvantage live and reproduce as normally possible, apply equally patients couples at risk having affected children. Here we propose that the classical concept fitness can be useful evaluating services, because it measurable, truly represents underlying aim.
