Abstract

It provides a comprehensive review of public health genetics, including chapters on important general issues such as newborn and other genetic screening, the delivery of genetic services, and the ethical, legal and social implications of the use of genetics within public health. It also reviews relevant clinical topics, the historical background, cross-cultural aspects, and communication issues. Contributors come from a wide range of fields including epidemiology, biostatistics, health policy and management, health services research, behavioral and social sciences, ethics, law, health economics, and laboratory sciences. The first broad survey of the role of genetics in public health, with emphasis on the new molecular genetics. With the accelerating discovery of human genes, public health professionals are increasingly confronted with a large body of scientific information that will guide public health action. Because the broad mission of public health is to fulfill society's interest in assuring conditions in which people can be healthy, the integration of new genetic information in public health research, policy and program development is unavoidable. Public health leadership is urgently needed to use genetic information to improve health and prevent disease, and to address ethical, legal and social issues resulting from inappropriate use of such information. In the not too-distant future, disease prevention and health promotion programs will routinely consider whether or not to use genetic information to help target behavioral, medical or environmental intervention activities in order to maximize benefit and minimize costs and harm to individuals. In anticipation of the expected growth at the interface of genetics and public health, this book delineates a framework for the integration of advances in human genetics into public health practice.

Abstract

This book gives an overview of the potential and the practical details that need to be resolved to make human germline engineering possible. Chapters present the ethical and social concerns and implications of the fast-approaching capability to alter the human germline and take an active role in the future evolution of the species.

Abstract

In 1953 werd door Watson en Crick de structuur van het DNA blootgelegd: dit gaf inzicht in de wijze waarop de erfelijke eigenschappen van een organisme worden 'gecodeerd' en bij elke celdeling doorgegeven. Omstreeks 1975 werd het mogelijk om DNA te 'manipuleren'. De stukjes DNA die een welbepaalde eigenschap tot stand brengen, en die men genen noemt, kan men nu isoleren, identificeren en reproduceren (klonen). In verband met de mens leidt dit samen met andere technieken tot de mogelijkheid om de oorsprong van een groot aantal erfelijke ziekten op te sporen. Door onderzoek van enkele cellen kan men de aanwezigheid van een erfelijke aanleg vaststellen zowel bij de volwassene, het kind, de foetus als bij het embryo. Deze kennis kan heel waardevol zijn, maar ze kan ook ongewenste tot zelfs dramatische gevolgen hebben. Dit boek geeft een inzicht in de mogelijkheden van dit genetisch onderzoek. Tegelijk worden ook de voornaamste ethische vragen gesteld die erdoor worden opgeroepen. (Bron: covertekst)
