"content": "\u003cp>When a baby is born, their blood is tested for serious, treatable diseases such as sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis. But if you could screen your healthy baby for hundreds more rare genetic risks — which may or may not ever develop into disease — would you?\u003c/p>\u003cp>That question is at the heart of \u003ca href=\"https://www.genomes2people.org/research/babyseq/\" target=\"_blank\">BabySeq\u003c/a>, a clinical trial led by Dr. Robert Green at Mass General Brigham and Harvard Medical School. The study sequences the genomes of healthy newborns to identify rare genetic risks not included in standard screening.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"It's a simple concept, but it's way more complicated than you'd think,\" Green told \u003cem>TED Radio Hour\u003c/em> host Manoush Zomorodi. \"It's relatively easy to sequence DNA. It's becoming easier to interpret those findings. But what's really hard… is okay, so you put that risk variant in the hands of the family and the pediatrician. What do you do next?\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The Promise: Early detection can save lives\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\u003c/p>\u003cp>BabySeq looks for single-gene conditions that could impact a child's health. In some cases, that information can be lifesaving. Green shared the example of playwright Jonathan Larson, who wrote the broadway musical, Rent, and died from a heart condition believed to be related to Marfan Syndrome, a condition not included in standard newborn screening. If Larson had been aware he was carrying the mutation, Green says, instead of being misdiagnosed in emergency rooms, \"they would've gone right to his aorta and imaged it and they would've seen it expanding. And they would've operated and probably saved his life.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>But many results aren't that clear-cut, and not everyone in the medical community believes sequencing healthy newborns is a good idea.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The Concerns: DNA is not a crystal ball\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\u003c/p>\u003cp>Dr. Lainie Friedman Ross, a pediatrician and bioethicist, argues that for now, the risks may outweigh the benefits. \"Just because you have the genes doesn't mean you're actually going to get the disease,\" she told Zomorodi.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Ross warns that this uncertainty can turn children into what she calls \"patients in waiting\" – with parents monitoring healthy children for conditions that may never appear. \"Every time my kid sneezes, is this the disease coming on or is it just that my kid has a normal cold?\" she asks.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Ross worries that overdiagnosis can lead to anxiety, stigma and overtreatment. She also cautions that offering consent-based genomic testing could erode trust in existing public health screening programs. If parents begin questioning the security or purpose of newborn screening altogether, she warns, \"We're going to harm science in the future as well.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>Green, however, remains optimistic. He now leads a project called BEACONS to test whether free genome sequencing can be offered to families across seven states. His ultimate goal is to move health care from reacting to illness toward preventing it.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"There are a lot of questions still out there,\" Green says. \"But I would say the majority of us have moved the question from should it be done to: Let's find the most constructive and beneficial way in which it should be done. I think it's caught on now and I don't think we're going to go backwards.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Consider for yourself\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\u003c/p>\u003cp>If you're offered genetic sequencing for your baby, Ross suggests starting with yourself. \"I would ask them, would they be willing to get their own genome sequenced and would they like to understand all the genetic risks that they themselves have?\" Removing the right of your child to make that decision for themselves is an ethical question she suggests parents consider.\u003c/p>\u003cp>The technology is here and advancing. The real question is how much uncertainty you're willing to live with — and whether knowing more will actually help you and your child live better.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was adapted from the TED Radio Hour episode \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/programs/ted-radio-hour/g-s1-105064/the-secrets-in-your-babys-genes?showDate=2026-01-09\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>The secrets in your baby's dreams\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>.

But if you could screen your healthy baby for hundreds more rare genetic risks — which may or may not ever develop into disease — would you?\u003c/p>\u003cp>That question is at the heart of \u003ca href=\"https://www.genomes2people.org/research/babyseq/\" target=\"_blank\">BabySeq\u003c/a>, a clinical trial led by Dr. Robert Green at Mass General Brigham and Harvard Medical School. The study sequences the genomes of healthy newborns to identify rare genetic risks not included in standard screening.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"It's a simple concept, but it's way more complicated than you'd think,\" Green told \u003cem>TED Radio Hour\u003c/em> host Manoush Zomorodi. \"It's relatively easy to sequence DNA. It's becoming easier to interpret those findings. But what's really hard… is okay, so you put that risk variant in the hands of the family and the pediatrician. What do you do next?\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The Promise: Early detection can save lives\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\u003c/p>\u003cp>BabySeq looks for single-gene conditions that could impact a child's health. In some cases, that information can be lifesaving. Green shared the example of playwright Jonathan Larson, who wrote the broadway musical, Rent, and died from a heart condition believed to be related to Marfan Syndrome, a condition not included in standard newborn screening. If Larson had been aware he was carrying the mutation, Green says, instead of being misdiagnosed in emergency rooms, \"they would've gone right to his aorta and imaged it and they would've seen it expanding. And they would've operated and probably saved his life.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>But many results aren't that clear-cut, and not everyone in the medical community believes sequencing healthy newborns is a good idea.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The Concerns: DNA is not a crystal ball\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\u003c/p>\u003cp>Dr. Lainie Friedman Ross, a pediatrician and bioethicist, argues that for now, the risks may outweigh the benefits. \"Just because you have the genes doesn't mean you're actually going to get the disease,\" she told Zomorodi.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Ross warns that this uncertainty can turn children into what she calls \"patients in waiting\" – with parents monitoring healthy children for conditions that may never appear. \"Every time my kid sneezes, is this the disease coming on or is it just that my kid has a normal cold?\" she asks.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Ross worries that overdiagnosis can lead to anxiety, stigma and overtreatment. She also cautions that offering consent-based genomic testing could erode trust in existing public health screening programs. If parents begin questioning the security or purpose of newborn screening altogether, she warns, \"We're going to harm science in the future as well.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>Green, however, remains optimistic. He now leads a project called BEACONS to test whether free genome sequencing can be offered to families across seven states. His ultimate goal is to move health care from reacting to illness toward preventing it.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"There are a lot of questions still out there,\" Green says. \"But I would say the majority of us have moved the question from should it be done to: Let's find the most constructive and beneficial way in which it should be done. I think it's caught on now and I don't think we're going to go backwards.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Consider for yourself\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\u003c/p>\u003cp>If you're offered genetic sequencing for your baby, Ross suggests starting with yourself. \"I would ask them, would they be willing to get their own genome sequenced and would they like to understand all the genetic risks that they themselves have?\" Removing the right of your child to make that decision for themselves is an ethical question she suggests parents consider.\u003c/p>\u003cp>The technology is here and advancing. The real question is how much uncertainty you're willing to live with — and whether knowing more will actually help you and your child live better.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was adapted from the TED Radio Hour episode \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/programs/ted-radio-hour/g-s1-105064/the-secrets-in-your-babys-genes?showDate=2026-01-09\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>The secrets in your baby's dreams\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>.

And rushing toward an answer can minimize the gravity of the uncertainty you are feeling.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"Those moments when a new question rises up in us, stops us in our tracks, those are pivot points,\" said Tippett in \u003ca href=\"https://www.ted.com/talks/krista_tippett_3_practices_for_wisdom_and_wholeness\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cu>a 2023 TED talk\u003c/u>\u003c/a>. \"Those are moments when the possibility of discovery breaks in.

She offers another big question to help you start brainstorming your own: \"What amidst all that is breaking wants to be born that I can attend to?\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>In other words, when things feel like they are falling apart, what is taking shape that you can nurture? Jot down other questions that feel right for you as you begin 2026. But, don't worry about the answers.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Instead, pick an open-ended question to be your companion for the whole year.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"If we're looking for an answer, we may be disappointed,\" says Tippett. She suggests returning to your question whenever you need guidance this year. \"We're looking for what emerges in us, what we start to see that we didn't see before.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>Over time, think of that question as a really good friend. Use it as a launching pad for other reflections about your life: new skillsets you want to build or people you want to meet as you try to understand this question.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"You may find as you move forward that the question itself needs revising,\" says Tippet. \"Like this question wasn't particular enough, or I want to give this question some nuance. So the question is alive too.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How living with unresolved questions helps you feel at peace\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003cp>Tippett says treating questions as something to dwell on, not immediately answer, is more in sync with how time actually works.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"It is not treating time like some kind of bully that tells me I must have an answer,\" says Tippet. \"It's letting things emerge … not grasping for the first thing that feels like an answer, but moving with curiosity towards it, testing it and not feeling like it's a failure if it turns out … it's not the answer.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cem>This segment of the TED Radio Hour was produced by Matthew Cloutier and edited by Sanaz Meshkinpour.\u003c/em> \u003cem>The digital story was written by Harsha Nahata and edited by Phoebe Lett.

She found help in the words of poet Rainer Maria Rilke.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"Rilke said, try to be patient with all that is unresolved in your heart,\" Tippett shared on NPR's \u003cem>TED Radio Hour\u003c/em>. \"Don't treat it as something that you have to rush to an answer for. Because if those questions are big and important enough, what you want is to be able to live the answers that they would give you.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>An open question to help you navigate big changes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003cp>If you are thinking about making a life change or career move, Tippett offers the questions that helped her pivot: \"What in the way I'm living now and working now depletes me, and what is life giving… and are the things I'm struggling with now the right things for me to be struggling with?\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>In a world of increasing ecological, economic and political crises, Tipett says the very act of sitting with a question can shape you in important ways. And rushing toward an answer can minimize the gravity of the uncertainty you are feeling.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"Those moments when a new question rises up in us, stops us in our tracks, those are pivot points,\" said Tippett in \u003ca href=\"https://www.ted.com/talks/krista_tippett_3_practices_for_wisdom_and_wholeness\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cu>a 2023 TED talk\u003c/u>\u003c/a>. \"Those are moments when the possibility of discovery breaks in. So the invitation here is to engage in the adventure of a new reverence for the questions that are alive in you … in the world around you.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How you can set a New Year's question for 2026\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003cp>Tippet suggests you forego New Year's resolutions and instead ask a question. She offers another big question to help you start brainstorming your own: \"What amidst all that is breaking wants to be born that I can attend to?\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>In other words, when things feel like they are falling apart, what is taking shape that you can nurture? Jot down other questions that feel right for you as you begin 2026. But, don't worry about the answers.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Instead, pick an open-ended question to be your companion for the whole year.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"If we're looking for an answer, we may be disappointed,\" says Tippett. She suggests returning to your question whenever you need guidance this year. \"We're looking for what emerges in us, what we start to see that we didn't see before.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>Over time, think of that question as a really good friend. Use it as a launching pad for other reflections about your life: new skillsets you want to build or people you want to meet as you try to understand this question.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"You may find as you move forward that the question itself needs revising,\" says Tippet. \"Like this question wasn't particular enough, or I want to give this question some nuance. So the question is alive too.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How living with unresolved questions helps you feel at peace\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003cp>Tippett says treating questions as something to dwell on, not immediately answer, is more in sync with how time actually works.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"It is not treating time like some kind of bully that tells me I must have an answer,\" says Tippet. \"It's letting things emerge … not grasping for the first thing that feels like an answer, but moving with curiosity towards it, testing it and not feeling like it's a failure if it turns out … it's not the answer.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cem>This segment of the TED Radio Hour was produced by Matthew Cloutier and edited by Sanaz Meshkinpour.\u003c/em> \u003cem>The digital story was written by Harsha Nahata and edited by Phoebe Lett.
