Abstract

This volume maps the areas of ethical concern in the debate regarding the governance of genetic information, and suggests alternative ethical frameworks and models of regulation in order to inform its restructuring. Genetic governance is at the heart of medical and scientific developments, and is connected to global exploitation, issues of commodification, commercialisation and ownership, the concepts of property and intellectual property and concerns about individual and communal identity. Thus the decisions that are made in the next few years about appropriate models of genetic governance will have knock-on effects for other areas of governance. In short the final answer to 'Who Decides?' in the context of genetic governance will fundamentally shape the ethical constructs of individuals and their networks and relationships in the public sphere.

Abstract

As the use of human body parts has become increasingly commercialized, a need has arisen for new approaches to regulation that move beyond the paradigm of altruism. In the course of this discussion, the notion of property has become a key concept. This volume focuses on practical and conceptual perspectives to set standards for a detailed and innovative discussion in the regulation of research on human tissue. The authors, a multidisciplinary research group combining specialists from philosophy, law, sociology, biology and medicine have come together with practicing lawyers to consider both legal provisions and patterns of regulation in countries across Europe. The authors identify divergences between the different legal traditions, and explore various conceptual models which could be used to improve and to guide policy making. With this twin focus on practical and conceptual perspectives the volume sets standards for a detailed and innovative discussion of problems in the regulation of research on human tissue. Focuses on practical and conceptual perspectives that set standards for a detailed and innovative discussion in the regulation of research on human tissue. This book identifies divergences between the different legal traditions, and explores various conceptual models which could be used to improve and to guide policy making.
