Hi Badoowii,

here's a few resources.

From the Human Genome Project:
http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/medicine/genetest.shtml

There is a very interesting 2005 British report from the Human
Genetics Commission on an analysis of the case for and against genetic
profiling of babies at birth.
see particularly in 'Genetic Profiling and Medical Services'
http://www.hgc.gov.uk/UploadDocs/Contents/Documents/Final%20Draft%20of%20Profiling%20Newborn%20Report%2003%2005.pdf

and here's a paper from the University of Toronto Joint Centre for Bioethics 
on an up and coming specific use including pros and cons:
