As the doctor, your role is to inform the group about the implications of
a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Some of the questions you will need to consider
are:
 | What are the symptoms and outcome of cystic fibrosis? |
| What are the current treatments for cystic fibrosis and what is the future of treatment for cystic fibrosis likely to be? |
| With your knowledge of the likelihood of transmission of cystic fibrosis to a child whose parents are both carriers of the disease, what would your recommendations to them be? |
Remember to investigate these issues from the perspective of a Doctor.
