About this book

"While advances in science and technology bring many advantages, we must not ignore the harm that they can cause. Rapid changes in genetic testing are a prime example, and indicators can now help to detect, address and treat diseases. However, [the author] examines how genetic testing is also being used for non-medical reasons, for example for work opportunities and insurance coverage. [This book considers] an EU-level response to the use of genetic information. [The author] discusses how to help genetic and scientific research to evolve and grow, how to enhance public confidence in research, and how to control it so that it recognises our values and fundamental human rights."--
