Abstract

Aujourd'hui, reconnaître la complexité du génome et des relations humaines et économiques tant au niveau local qu'international exige l'élaboration d'un nouveau contrat social, un contrat qui relègue aux oubliettes les idéologies qui nous empêchent (par leurs effets politiques) de construire, de faire accepter et d'intégrer un modèle international aussi complexe que la Nature elle-même.

Abstract

In het genoom, de verzamelde genetische informatie van een levend wezen, liggen de antwoorden op vragen als: wat bepaalt de groei en de ontwikkeling van een organisme? Waarom wordt het lichaam oud en sterft het? In hoeverre zijn ons gedrag en persoonlijkheid genetisch bepaald? Zit ons bewustzijn in het DNA besloten? De kennis van het genoom van de mens houdt in dat daarmee letterlijk het recept voor een mens bekend zal zijn. Dit zal het beeld van onszelf voorgoed veranderen. Matt Ridley legt in dit boek uit wat het onderzoek naar het genoom inhoudt, en ook welke gevaren er zijn. Hij geeft ook inzicht in de functie van verschillende genen en hoe ze werken.

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.
