Abstract

This wide ranging and compelling account surveys the exciting opportunities and difficult problems which arise from the new human genetics. The availability of increasingly sophisticated information on our genetic make-up presents individuals, and society as a whole, with difficult decisions. Although it is hoped that these advances will ultimately lead the way to the effective treatment and screening for all diseases with a genetic component, at present many individuals are 'condemned' to a life sentence, in the knowledge that they, or their children, will suffer from an incurable genetic disease. This is the first book to attempt to explore and survey these issues from such a variety of perspectives: from personal accounts of individuals coping with the threat of genetic disease, from the viewpoint of clinicians and scientists, and from those concerned with psychosocial, legal and ethical aspects.

Abstract

Most public discussion has focused on those effects of genetic research that are considered in some way unwanted or unpleasant. For example, there has been much debate concerning the risks and the ethical appropriateness of genetic screening, gene therapy, and agricultural applications based on genetic techniques. It often claimed that genetic research may cause new problems such as genetic discrimination, stigmatization, environmental risks, or mistreatment of animals. Genes and Morality: New Essays adopts a critical attitude toward genetic research, on both a theoretical and a practical level. It presents some of the most important problems in the ethics of genetic engineering, including the questions of genetic health and disease, genetic testing, responsibility for health, patenting non-human and human life, and problems related to the disclosure of genetic information. The aim of the book is to focus on real ethical and conceptual issues. Consider, for instance, the concept of genetic disease. As one of the contributors, Ingmar Prn, writes, fear of genetic disease, or anxiety, is not itself a disease any more than fear of becoming unemployed is a disease. Alleviating such emotions is not a medical task to be discharged by drug therapy. The book also examines the philosophical foundations of these issues by discussing the most influential bioethical theories of today, including utilitarianism and principlism.

Abstract

La génétique est sous les feux de la rampe depuis plusieurs années. Avec la génétique humaine et le développement des tests, c'est la médecine prédictive qui acquiert ses lettres de noblesse. Une impulsion nouvelle est donnée au projet de remplacer progressivement une médecine curative ou palliative par une médecine active de prévention des maladies. Mais si le savoir génétique apporté par le résultat d'un test nous donne une connaissance anticipée de notre avenir organique probable - ou de celui de l'enfant que nous attendons - force est de reconnaître qu'actuellement notre capacité d'intervention pour en infléchir le cours reste très limitée. Que faire alors de tout ce savoir prédictif dans le domaine de la santé et de la procréation ? Dans une première partie, cet ouvrage aborde des questions qui émergent dans la presse, les publications et les colloques à propos des tests diagnostiques et prédictifs de santé : complexité du conseil génétique, évaluation des risques et risque zéro, eugénisme social, relation médecin-malade, régulations personnelle et sociale de l'usage des tests, etc. Dans une seconde partie, il approfondit d'un point de vue éthique et philosophique certaines questions qui paraissent centrales pour aborder le problème d'une meilleure «humanisation» des tests : statut de la connaissance objective face à l'engagement et à la responsabilité pour l'autre dans la situation du diagnostic anténatal et statut du savoir prédictif face à l'interprétation en terme de «destin» ou de «liberté» pour l'ensemble des tests. La liberté de l'homme - qu'il soit adulte ou en gestation - ne serait-elle pas d'attester qu'il peut être en excès sur tout savoir porté sur lui et qu'en aucun cas un gène, quel qu'il soit, ne peut être interprété comme l'écriture de son destin ?

Abstract

Rapid advances in genetics and medicine present both opportunities and threats to the advancement of human rights and public health in this era of globalization. While such advances contribute significantly to progress against disease, they may also pose profound global public policy concerns in that the ethical and policy considerations that follow from scientific advances lag far behind. In this context, the aim of this book is to present the current global efforts to develop common principles relating to biomedicine. Section I sets forth the pivotal role that the principle of human dignit
