New developments in science and technology have resulted in
shifting ethical challenges in many areas including in genomics
research. This book enables those who are involved in genomics
research, whether as researcher, participant or policy maker, to
understand the ethical issues currently developing in this field
and to participate actively in these important debates. A clear
account is given of how science and technology are outstripping the
capacity of previous ethical regulations to cope with current
issues, together with practical illustrations of possible ways
forward. Key ethical ideas are presented, drawing on the history of
research regulation and on an account of the particular challenges
arising in the field of genomics. The book uses a grounded,
practical approach to explaining ethical concepts and issues which
is geared to enhancing interdisciplinary dialogue. Its broad
approach to ethical issues includes relevant considerations from
social psychology and there is a particular emphasis on
understanding the problems of ethical regulations and practice in
the institutional and social context of research. A glossary and
numerous text boxes explaining relevant terms and key ideas help to
make the work an invaluable resource for both beginners and experts
in the field.
