This volume maps the areas of ethical concern in the debate
regarding the governance of genetic information, and suggests
alternative ethical frameworks and models of regulation in order to
inform its restructuring. Genetic governance is at the heart of
medical and scientific developments, and is connected to global
exploitation, issues of commodification, commercialisation and
ownership, the concepts of property and intellectual property and
concerns about individual and communal identity. Thus the decisions
that are made in the next few years about appropriate models of
genetic governance will have knock-on effects for other areas of
governance. In short the final answer to 'Who Decides?' in the
context of genetic governance will fundamentally shape the ethical
constructs of individuals and their networks and relationships in
the public sphere.
