This book highlights both the relation between technology and care, and the normative aspects of economic analyses in health care. A series of concrete examples from various clinical fields (prenatal diagnosis, genetic tests, digital imaging in psychiatry, tube feeding in care for the elderly, and palliative sedation) helps the authors to consider how to integrate these technologies in a care context aimed upon humaneness. Each topic is analysed by leading European clinicians and health care ethicists.

This volume is a multidisciplinary and multinational collection of papers on aspects of genetic screening, with special reference to the situation in Europe. Starting from the situation in practice, the book proceeds to examine what lessons, if any, can be learned from historical precedents and sociological perspectives and concludes by exploring the extent to which theoretical ethical frameworks can assist in addressing the practice and policy issues in screening. This exploration points to ways in which genetics itself affects and challenge those frameworks. This collection will be of interest to practitioners, ethicists and policy-makers alike.

Quatrième de couverture : "Printemps 2013, une nouvelle fait grand bruit : l actrice américaine Angelina Jolie, après avoir appris, à l'occasion d'un test génétique, qu elle était porteuse d'une mutation la prédisposant au cancer du sein, s est fait enlever les deux seins. Un exemple médiatique et radical d application de la médecine prédictive. Car c'est ainsi que l'on qualifie cette branche de la médecine dont l'objectif est non pas de soigner les maladies, mais d'empêcher qu'elles ne surviennent. Cet ouvrage fait le point en chiffres et infographies sur des pratiques médicales en plein essor. Cancers, obésité, diabète, comportements addictifs ou violents, etc. : que peut ou non prédire la médecine prédictive ? Comment réalise-t-elle ses prédictions ? Amélioration de la prévention, personnalisation des traitements, etc. : quels bénéfices peut-on en attendre de la médecine prédictive ? Quels sont aussi ses limites et les risques de dérives ? Des données claires et objectives permettront au lecteur de se faire son opinion sur un sujet controversé et qui, dans un avenir proche, concernera de nombreuses personnes..."

The phenomenon of the New Genetics raises complex social problems, particularly those of privacy. This book offers ethical and legal perspectives on the questions of a right to know and not to know genetic information from the standpoint of individuals, their relatives, employers, insurers and the state. Graeme Laurie provides a unique definition of privacy, including a concept of property rights in the person, and argues for stronger legal protection of privacy in the shadow of developments in human genetics. He challenges the role and the limits of established principles in medical law and ethics, including respect for patient autonomy and confidentiality. This book will interest lawyers, philosophers and doctors concerned both with genetic information and issues of privacy; it will also interest genetic counsellors, researchers, and policy makers worldwide for its practical stance on dilemmas in modern genetic medicine.
