Cancers, sida, maladies héréditaires, mais aussi homosexualité, agressivité, intelligence, bonheur, il n'est pas un mois où nos maux et nos comportements ne reçoivent une justification ou une excuse génétique. Les effets sur notre société de cette " révolution génétique " ne sont pas neutres. Il est à craindre, estime Hervé Ponchelet, qu'une religion du gène s'installe à notre insu, jusqu'à faire oublier que " les hommes naissent et demeurent libres et égaux en droit ". Si la molécule d'ADN venait à tenir lieu de vision de l'homme, ce réductionnisme triomphant aboutirait à une catastrophe semblable à celle engendrée par le darwinisme social du XIXe siècle. Pour Hervé Ponchelet, la mécanique est déjà en marche, les ferments d'un nouvel eugénisme sont bel et bien déjà réunis. Sans nier les apports de la génétique pour prévenir ou soigner les maladies, il nous alerte sur les dangers de cette situation qui menacent les fondements de notre démocratie. Enrichi de références à la mythologie, à la littérature, à l'histoire de la médecine, son livre est le résultat d'enquêtes journalistiques menées auprès des acteurs concernés, scientifiques, psychanalystes, philosophes et juristes.

A decade after the publication of The Man Behind the Syndrome, which was warmly received, particularly by medical geneticists, syndromologists and those doctors from many different dis­ ciplines with an interest in medical history, Peter and Greta Beighton now present the second volume of their work, promised ten years ago. The length of time which has passed since the pub­ lication of the first book gives an inkling of the extraordinary effort involved on the part of the authors in collecting the necessary biographical data and the portraits of their subjects. The Person Behind the Syndrome conforms exactly in structure, quality and size with the first volume, thus facilitating the use of the series. Again we find detailed presentations of a hundred people who have given their names to disorders or syndromes which are thought to have a significant genetic or chromosomal component (with a photograph or portrait, biography, com­ mentary on the development of nomenclature and references). The reader finds information not only on the doctor and/or scientist under discussion, but also, as in the previous volume, on the person behind the name. This is followed by brief, un illustrated biographies of about seventy, mostly younger and, in some cases, still professionally active personalities.
