The phenomenon of the New Genetics raises complex social problems,
particularly those of privacy. This book offers ethical and legal
perspectives on the questions of a right to know and not to know
genetic information from the standpoint of individuals, their
relatives, employers, insurers and the state. Graeme Laurie
provides a unique definition of privacy, including a concept of
property rights in the person, and argues for stronger legal
protection of privacy in the shadow of developments in human
genetics. He challenges the role and the limits of established
principles in medical law and ethics, including respect for patient
autonomy and confidentiality. This book will interest lawyers,
philosophers and doctors concerned both with genetic information
and issues of privacy; it will also interest genetic counsellors,
researchers, and policy makers worldwide for its practical stance
on dilemmas in modern genetic medicine.
