Ethical Problems and Genetics Practice provides a rich, case-based account of the ethical issues arising in the genetics clinic and laboratory. By analysing a wide range of evocative and often arresting cases from practice, Michael Parker provides a compelling insight into the complex moral world of the contemporary genetics professional and the challenges they face in the care of patients and their families. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the ethical issues arising in everyday genetics practice. Ethical Problems and Genetics Practice is also a sustained engagement with the relationships between bioethics and social science. In proposing and exemplifying a new approach to bioethics, it makes a significant contribution to debates on methods and interdisciplinarity and will therefore also appeal to all those concerned with theoretical and methodological approaches to bioethics and social science.

About the book >.>.> I've got a young patient with a family history of Huntington's Disease who wants to have a test to see whether she is going to be affected by the disease as she gets older. She is worried because she knows that her paternal grandmother has it. During counselling my patient dis-closed that she is an identical twin. She says that her twin sister is not aware of the family history and says that she does not want her sister to know because she doesn't think that she could cope with this know-ledge, particularly because the disease is untreatable. When I told her that I was reluctant to do the test on her without discussing it with her sister because the fact that they are identical twins means that the test would also be a test on her twin - she said that she didn't want her sister to be involved. To reassure me, she promised that whatever the test result she would not disclose this. The other problem I hav. Nº de ref. del artículo: Batch-FM645-LN-13324
