While advances in science and technology bring many advantages, we
must not ignore the harm that they can cause. Rapid changes in
genetic testing are a prime example, and indicators can now help to
detect, address and treat diseases. However, in this new study,
Aisling de Paor examines how genetic testing is also being used for
non-medical reasons, for example for work opportunities and
insurance coverage. Genetics, Disability and the Law is the first
book of its kind to substantively consider an EU-level response to
the use of genetic information. de Paor discusses how to help
genetic and scientific research to evolve and grow, how to enhance
public confidence in research, and how to control it so that it
recognises our values and fundamental human rights. An understudied
but vitally important topic, de Paor's work provides a valuable and
timely contribution to the field of disability rights.
