Isi artikel

As genetic technologies develop and advance, they inspire news stories with headlines such as, “Genetic Find Stirs Debate on Race-Based Medicine” (Wade, 2005), “Her Dying Wish: Michelle Hobor’s Killer, a Cancer Gene Mutation, Is Now Being Tracked Through Her Family” (Henry, 2007), “DNA Workshop Upends Notion of Race For Many: Students Learn True Genetic Heritage and Debunk Family Tales,” (Zamora, 2006), and “Volunteers to Get Genetic Tests for Risk of Disease: Most ‘Will Get Bad News’ ? Then What?” (Rubin, 2007). These headlines point to some of the central ethical and social questions in genetic research and testing that derive from the nature of genetic material itself. This special issue of the Journal of Medicine and Philosophy explores a variety of questions that complicate the ethical evaluation of this increasingly prevalent kind of research and testing.
