(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Technology assessment assumes a global perspective and is future-oriented rather than backward-looking or anti-technological. ("Scientific research and science-based technological innovation is an indispensable prerequisite of modern life and civilization. There is no alternative. For six or eight billion people there is no way back to a less sophisticated life style" [Mohr, Hans: "Technology Assessment in Theory and Practice", Techné: Journal of the Society for Philosophy and Technology, Vol. 4, No. 4 (Summer, 1999)]). TA considers its task as interdisciplinary approach to solving already existing problems and preventing potential damage caused by the uncritical application and the commercialization of new technologies. Therefore any results of technology assessment studies must be published, and particular consideration must be given to communication with political decision-makers.
Some of the major fields of TA – not an exhaustive list:

Notwithstanding the limits of public understanding of genetics and genetically related diseases, prospective parents have enormous interest in the health and well-being of children to be. In an Office of Technology Assessment survey of a decade ago, 83 percent of Americans said they would take a genetic test before having children, if it would tell them whether their children would likely inherit a fatal genetic disease.

In terms of treatment, options for care for many individuals with CF have expanded over the past decade with implications for the average cost of care. Although the Office of Technology Assessment estimated in 1992, based on 1989 data, that the annual treatment costs were approximately $10,000 per year per individual with CF, current estimates exceed $40,000 per year in direct medical costs and $9,000 per year in ancillary costs.
