This is a dynamic book that successfully combines global and local
thinking with regard to an emerging technology that will contribute
to the expansion of proteomics and pharmacogenomics, the science of
tailored healthcare and treatments. Genetic testing and screening
will change the way people understand health, diagnostic knowledge,
illness but also crime, databases and private information,
paternity, and self-knowledge. In addition to giving individuals
the opportunity to think differently about their well-being, it
installs a new taxonomy in terms of illness, because its
probabilistic effects will introduce a new narrative in the health
discourse of 21st century society. While in the past people could
be classified as being healthy or sick, now, through genetic
testing and screening, adults can be classified as being healthy,
predisposed to an illness, probably at risk, at risk, or carriers
of certain risks.
