C'est souvent à partir de situations exceptionnelles et dramatiques que la question de la propriété du corps humain se trouve posée dans nos sociétés, que l'on songe aux débats relatifs à l'euthanasie. Dans ce contexte, les juristes mais aussi les philosophes et les hommes politiques se voient reprocher d'être toujours en retard par rapport aux avancées des pratiques médicales. Les outils manqueraient aux citoyens pour comprendre et mesurer l'importance de ce qui se joue dans les décisions qu'ils ont à prendre tout au long de leur vie, au sujet de leur corps ou des corps de ceux qui leur sont proches. L'histoire des pratiques médicales, celle de nos traditions religieuses, politiques, et philosophiques, l'examen des doctrines juridiques et des concepts qu'elles proposent pour définir le statut du corps humain, la prise en compte enfin des théories de la justice permettent pourtant de constater que nous sommes loin d'être démunis pour penser le statut du corps dans nos sociétés. Cette voie rend possible une véritable confrontation entre les différentes positions et revendications exprimées à propos de la propriété du corps, en lieu et place du dialogue de sourds auquel nous assistons trop souvent.

Insurance companies routinely use an individual's medical history and family medical history in determining eligibility for life insurance; this is part of the process of medical underwriting. Insurers have also long used genetic information, often derived from family history, in underwriting. But rapid advances in gene identification and genetic testing are changing the way we look at genetic information. Should the results of genetic testing (which might identify a predisposition toward disease not related to medical history) be available to life insurance medical underwriters? Few if any life insurers currently require genetic testing, but there are no laws or regulations prohibiting its use. Genetics and Life Insurance examines the complex economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of genetic information in life insurance underwriting. The contributors are legal scholars, representatives of the life insurance industry (including an actuary and an insurance physician), a geneticist, a genetic counselor, a philosopher, and a consumer advocate. They explore all aspects of an issue that has only recently drawn the attention of policymakers and the public.The book opens with a report on the results of a public opinion poll on genetics and life insurance. Succeeding chapters present the insurer perspective, a discussion of the economics of risk selection in life insurance, background information on the process of underwriting, a scientific analysis of genetic risks and mortality rates, a philosophical discussion of fairness and genetic underwriting, the viewpoints of consumers and genetics counselors, a comparison of different international policy approaches to the issue, and a legal analysis of antitrust implications when insurers collaborate in setting standards for medical underwriting. In the final chapter the editor addresses various policy options, examining the pros and cons of each one and assessing their political feasibility.
