This innovative and engaging book argues that because our genetic
information is directly linked to the genetic information of
others, it is impossible to assert a ‘right to privacy’ in the
same way that we can in other areas of life. This position throws
up questions around access to sensitive data. It suggests that we
may have to abandon certain intuitions about who may access our
genetic information; and it raises concerns about discrimination
against people with certain genetic characteristics. But the author
asserts that regulating access to genetic information requires a
more nuanced perspective that does not rely on the familiar
language of rights. The book proposes new ways in which we may
think about who has access to what genetic information, and on what
basis they do so. Conceptually challenging, the book will prove
engaging reading for scholars and students interested in the area
of bioethics and medical law, as well as policy makers working with
these pressing issues.
