Críticas:
Andrews urges us to face the psychological havoc already being wrought us as, with a few probes into our DNA, a doctor can tell us what genetic diseases may lie in store for us, our families and our fetuses. Chicago Tribune Compelling reading... very useful... intriguing. American Scientist Biotechnology expert Andrews clearly establishes that genetics will change all of our lives in the future-and this change may not necessarily be a positive one... Useful to anyone who is now or will be involved in some aspect of genetic testing. All levels. -- R. G. McGee Jr. Choice Andrews, a world renowned expert on genetic and reproductive technology, provides a fascinating look here at genetic screening... Andrews's legal insight and her ability to look beyond the superficial issues provide a breath of fresh air. Library Journal Future Perfect is most interesting for its explicit focus on the need to find the most appropriate conceptual model for assessing the new genetics... Very readable... based on wide knowledge. Nature This book is important for at least two reasons. First it explores the promises and challenges of the new genetics with comprehensive yet exceptionally readable commentary. Second, it sounds a clarion call to alert us to what Lori Andrews suggests is 'over-promising in genetics' and so to mobilize us in 'combating genetic hubris.' America [Andrews'] unique work clearly makes the case for the need for further development in the project she has initiated with this book. -- Pia de Solenni The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly
Reseña del editor:
Genetic technologies have moved off the pages of science fiction and into our everyday lives. Internists now offer genetic testing for cancers and early coronary disease. Obstetricians make genetic predictions during pregnancy about a baby's future health. Even dentists are getting into the act, offering testing for a genetic propensity to peridontal disease. In this pathbreaking book, Lori Andrews provides the first detailed glimpse into how genetic testing can change your self-image, your relationships with loved ones, and your expectations about your children. She documents how ill prepared doctors are to deal with complex genetic issues. Andrews also uncovers the ways in which employers, insurers, schools, and courts have discriminated against people on the basis of their genetic make up. She traces the legal case history of genetics litigation and legislation and describes the ethical and social protections that need to be in place so that the Human Genome Project does not lead us directly toward Brave New World. In Future Perfect, Lori Andrews offers a new plan for making decisions as individuals and as a society based on emerging issues of ethics and science. Who should have access to your personal genetic information? Should genetic treatments be used to enhance characteristics such as intelligence in "normal" individuals? Should gene therapy be undertaken on embryos, changing their genetic inheritance, as well as that of future generations? If a woman learns she has a genetic mutation predisposing her to breast cancer, does she have a moral or even a legal duty to share that information with an estranged relative? Andrews considers the answer to these and many other questions that have profound implications for health care providers, medical organizations, social institutions, legislatures, courts, and ordinary people.
