The privacy concerns discussed in the 1990s in relation to the New
Genetics failed to anticipate the relevant issues for individuals,
families, geneticists and society. Consumers, for example, can now
buy their personal genetic information and share it online. The
challenges facing genetic privacy have evolved as new
biotechnologies have developed, and personal privacy is
increasingly challenged by the irrepressible flow of electronic
data between the personal and public spheres and by surveillance
for terrorism and security risks. This book considers the right to
know and the right not to know about your own and others' genomes.
It discusses new privacy concerns and developments in ethical
thinking, with the greater emphasis on solidarity and equity. The
multidisciplinary approach covers current topics such as biobanks
and forensic databases, DIY testing, group rights and
accountability, the food we eat and the role of the press and the
new digital media.
