Advances in genetic technology will lead to novel legal
challenges. This book identifies four potential genomic claims
which may be articulated as novel negligence challenges. Each of
these claims is considered from the perspective of the English
courts approach to novel kinds of damage. It is argued that these
novel genomic claims are unlikely to be favourably received given
the current judicial attitude to new forms of damage. However,
Victoria Chico argues that the genomic claims could be conceived of
as harm because they concern interferences with autonomy. Each
claim is considered from the perspective of a hypothetical English
negligence system imbued with explicit recognition of the interest
in autonomy. Chico examines how recognition of this new form of
damage would lead to novel genomic negligence claims being treated
in a way which they would not, if considered within traditional
parameters of harm in negligence.
