A 22-year-old man has a maternal grandfather with Huntington disease (HD). His father, mother, and paternal grandfather are all healthy and free of HD manifestations. He wants to know whether he also has the HD gene and arranges to be tested. His mother does not want to know whether she has the gene mutation. The man is tested and is found to be positive for the gene mutation that causes HD.
Review the ethical principles in Chapter 1. Which principle(s) would be violated if the son informs his mother of his positive test results?
