Abstract

Advances in genetic technology in general and medical genetics in particular will enable us to intervene in the process of human biological development which extends from zygotes and embryos to people. This will allow us to control to a great extent the identities and the length and quality of the lives of people who already exist, as well as those we bring into existence in the near and distant future. Genes and Future People explores two general philosophical questions, one metaphysical, the other moral: (1) How do genes, and different forms of genetic intervention (gene therapy, genetic enhancement, presymptomatic genetic testing of adults, genetic testing of preimplantation embryos), affect the identities of the people who already exist and those we bring into existence? and (2) How do these interventions benefit or harm the people we cause to exist in the near future and those who will exist in the distant future by satisfying or defeating their interest in having reasonably long and disease-free lives? Genes and Future People begins by explaining the connection between genes and disease, placing genetic within a framework of evolutionary biology. It then discusses such topics as how genes and genetic intervention influence personal identity, what genetic testing of individuals and the knowledge resulting from it entails about responsibility to others who may be at risk, as well as how gene therapy and genetic enhancement can affect the identities of people and benefit or harm them. Furthermore, it discusses various moral aspects of cloning human beings and body parts. Finally, it explores the metaphysical and moral implications of genetic manipulation of the mechanisms of aging to extend the human life span.The aim Genes and Future People is to move philosophers, bioethicists, and readers in general to reflect on the extent to which genes determine whether we are healthy or diseased, our identities as persons, the quality of our lives, and our moral obligations to future generations of people. The book is a sustained philosophical reflection on some of the metaphysical and moral issues presented by genetics and different forms of genetic intervention.

Abstract

This book presents twenty-nine case studies that identify the most important ethical issues likely to emerge from new technologies of genetic testing and develops a series of guidelines based on the case studies. The authors believe that guideline formation is dependent on case analysis and that any statement of general guidelines must follow from concrete, practical discussion of specific situations. For these reasons, the guidelines presented are rooted in the case discussions and follow from the resolution of the cases. By providing the clinical origins and rationale behind each of its recommendations, the book aims to provide guidance for thinking through the ethical issues as well as a starting point for development of additional guidelines.

Abstract

The rapidly changing field of genetics affects society through advances in health-care and through implications of genetic research. This study addresses the impacts of new genetic discoveries and technologies on different segments of today's society. The book begins with a chapter on genetic complexity, and subsequent chapters discuss moral and ethical questions arising from today's genetics from the perspectives of health care professionals, the media, the general public, special interest groups and commercial interests.

Abstract

"Genetic Turning Points is an outstanding study of the problem of genetic engineering and related ethical issues. It addresses difficult and sometimes technical matters in a style that is both clear and scholarly, and it provides valuable insights into issues that are being thrust to the fore by scientific progress. Genes store the directions for all life on earth. If you want to know where we might be going, read this book. It is a road map that can save you from many ill-fated journeys." - William R. Shea

Abstract

La génétique est sous les feux de la rampe depuis plusieurs années. Avec la génétique humaine et le développement des tests, c'est la médecine prédictive qui acquiert ses lettres de noblesse. Une impulsion nouvelle est donnée au projet de remplacer progressivement une médecine curative ou palliative par une médecine active de prévention des maladies. Mais si le savoir génétique apporté par le résultat d'un test nous donne une connaissance anticipée de notre avenir organique probable - ou de celui de l'enfant que nous attendons - force est de reconnaître qu'actuellement notre capacité d'intervention pour en infléchir le cours reste très limitée. Que faire alors de tout ce savoir prédictif dans le domaine de la santé et de la procréation ? Dans une première partie, cet ouvrage aborde des questions qui émergent dans la presse, les publications et les colloques à propos des tests diagnostiques et prédictifs de santé : complexité du conseil génétique, évaluation des risques et risque zéro, eugénisme social, relation médecin-malade, régulations personnelle et sociale de l'usage des tests, etc. Dans une seconde partie, il approfondit d'un point de vue éthique et philosophique certaines questions qui paraissent centrales pour aborder le problème d'une meilleure «humanisation» des tests : statut de la connaissance objective face à l'engagement et à la responsabilité pour l'autre dans la situation du diagnostic anténatal et statut du savoir prédictif face à l'interprétation en terme de «destin» ou de «liberté» pour l'ensemble des tests. La liberté de l'homme - qu'il soit adulte ou en gestation - ne serait-elle pas d'attester qu'il peut être en excès sur tout savoir porté sur lui et qu'en aucun cas un gène, quel qu'il soit, ne peut être interprété comme l'écriture de son destin ?

Abstract

The Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine, also referred to as the "Oviedo Convention", celebrated the 10th anniversary of its entry into force in 2009. This legally binding instrument aims to protect the integrity, dignity and identity of all human beings and guarantees everyone, without discrimination, the respect for their rights and fundamental freedoms with regard to the application of biology and medicine. It shares with the European Convention on Human Rights the same underlying approach and many ethical principles, and provides a general framework for the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms in the field of biomedicine. The Oviedo Convention also addresses new challenges in biomedicine that are brought about by technological and scientific developments, making it a reference text for patient rights at the European level. The principles laid down in the Oviedo Convention were further developed and complemented in additional protocols in specific fields: prohibition of cloning of human beings, transplantation of organs and tissues of human origin, and biomedical research and genetic testing for health purposes. The texts presented in this publication form a unique legally binding set of instruments at the international level.
