On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, the Sarnoff Center co‑hosted a hybrid CLE program with the Women’s Bar Association of Illinois and the Decalogue Society of Lawyers, examining the intersection of modern genetic testing, reproductive health, and the legal and policy frameworks that increasingly shape patient care and access.
Presented by Dr. Kara Goldman of Northwestern University and the Sarnoff Center’s genetic counselor, Scott M. Weissman, the program explored the complex ethical, legal, and regulatory landscapes that clinicians and patients must navigate as advances in genomics expand options for carrier screening, prenatal testing, and reproductive decision‑making.
