Abstract

Modern epigenetics unites scientists from life sciences, organic chemistry as well as computer and engineering sciences to find an answer to the question of how environmental influences can have a lasting effect on gene expression, maybe even into the next generations. This volume examines from an interdisciplinary perspective the ethical, legal and social aspects of epigenetics. Contents • Introduction to Epigenetics • The Assessment of Emerging Technology • Epigenetics and Genetic Determinism (in Popular Science) • Intergenerational Justice as a Topic of an Ethics of Epigenetics • About the Ethical Ambivalence of Epigenetic Knowledge • Biological, Medical, Social, and Ethical Challenges • Learning from and Shaping the Public Discourse about Epigenetics • State of the Public Discourse on Epigenetics • New Aspects of Chemicals Policy • Epigenetics and Legal Regulations • Epigenetics and the Protection of Personality Rights • Adam's Apple and His Legacy • Epigenetics and Original Sin Target Groups Scholars and students in science and technology studies, biology, philosophy, sociology, theory of science, history of science, law and theology Editors Reinhard Heil and Harald König are researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Stefanie B. Seitz was a researcher at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology until January 2016 and is currently working for the DBFZ - Deutsches Biomasseforschungszentrum gGmbH, Leipzig. Jürgen Robienski is a German lawyer in Hannover and Müden/Aller (Lower Saxony). He is a research fellow at the Center of Ethics and Law in the Life Sciences (CELLS) of Leibniz University in Hannover.

Abstract

Innerhalb der letzten zehn Jahre hat sich die Epigenetik als ein Zweig der Molekulargenetik herausgebildet und erlebt einen regelrechten Hype. Die moderne Epigenetik vereint Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus den Lebenswissenschaften, der organischen Chemie, der Informatik und den Ingenieurwissenschaften bei der Beantwortung der Frage, wie Umwelteinflüsse die Genexpression langfristig und bis in die folgenden Generationen beeinflussen können. Der Band untersucht die wenig beachteten ethischen, rechtlichen und sozialen Aspekte der Epigenetik aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive. Der Inhalt Einführung in die Epigenetik.- Zur Beurteilung emergenter Technologien.- Widerlegt die Epigenetik den Gendeterminismus?.- Identität und Nichtidentität.- Genetik, Epigenetik und Formen des Handelns.- Biologische, medizinische, soziale und ethische Herausforderungen.- Der öffentliche Diskurs zur Epigenetik.- Neue Aspekte für die Chemikalienpolitik.- Epigenetik und rechtliche Regulierung.- Epigenetik und Persönlichkeitsschutz.- Ethische Perspektiven auf die Epigenetik.- Epigenetik und Erbsünde. Die Zielgruppen Dozierende und Studierende der Wissenschafts- und Technikforschung, Philosophie sowie der Religionswissenschaft Die Herausgeber Reinhard Heil, M.A., Dr. Stefanie B. Seitz und Dr. Harald König sind wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter am Institut für Technikfolgenabschätzung und Systemanalyse (ITAS) des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie. Dr. Jürgen Robienski ist Rechtsanwalt sowie wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Center for Ethics and Law in the Life Sciences (CELLS) der Leibniz Universität Hannover.
