In the years following FDA approval of direct-to-consumer,
genetic-health-risk testing, millions of people in the United
States have sent their DNA to companies to receive personal genetic
health risk information without physician or other learned medical
professional involvement. In Personal Genome Medicine, Michael J.
Malinowski examines the ethical, legal, and social implications of
this development. Drawing from the past and present of medicine in
the U.S., Malinowski applies law, policy, public and private sector
practices, and governing norms to analyze the commercial personal
genome sequencing and testing sectors and to assess their impact on
the future of U.S. medicine. Written in relatable and accessible
language, the book also proposes regulatory reforms for government
and medical professionals that will enable technological
advancements while maintaining personal and public health
standards.
