That concern about human genetics is at the top of many lists of
issues requiring intense discussion from scientific, political,
social, and ethical points of view is today no surprise. It was in
the spirit of attempting to establish the basis for intelligent
discussion of the issues involved that a group of us gathered at a
meeting of the International Society for the History, Philosophy,
and Social Studies of Biology in the Summer of 1995 at Brandeis
University and began an exploration of these questions in earlier
versions of the papers presented here. Our aim was to cross
disciplines and jump national boundaries, to be catholic in the
methods and approaches taken, and to bring before readers
interested in the emerging issues of human genetics well-reasoned,
informative, and provocative papers. The initial conference and
elements of the editorial work which have followed were generously
supported by the Stifterverband fUr die Deutsche Wissenschaft. We
thank Professor Peter Weingart of Bielefeld University for his
assistance in gaining this support. As Editors, we thank the
anonymous readers who commented upon and critiqued many of the
papers and in tum made each paper a more valuable contribution. We
also thank the authors for their understanding and patience.
