This volume addresses the overlapping aspects of the fields of
genomics, obesity and (non-) medical ethics. It is unique in its
examination of the implications of genomics for obesity from an
ethical perspective. Genomics covers the sciences and technologies
involved in the pathways that DNA takes until the organism is
completely built and sustained: the range of genes (DNA),
transcriptor factors, enhancers, promoters, RNA (copy of DNA),
proteins, metabolism of cell, cellular interactions, organisms.
Genomics offers a holistic approach, which, when applied to
obesity, can have surprising and disturbing implications for the
existing networks tackling this phenomenon. The ethical concerns
and consideration presented are inspired by the interaction between
the procedural perspective emphasizing the necessity of
consultative and participatory organizational relationships in the
new gray zones between medicine and food, and the substantive
perspective that both cherishes individual autonomy and embeds it
in socio-cultural contexts.
