Description

Book Synopsis
Ethical Problems and Genetics Practice provides a rich, case-based account of the ethical issues arising in genetics for health professionals, patients and their families. It will be particularly relevant to medical, nursing and genetic-counselling students and to graduate students in bioethics, social science and medical anthropology.

Trade Review
'This book is an extremely valuable addition to the ever-expanding library of contemporary bioethics texts. For me its real strength lies in the fact that it is very much grounded in real issues - using everyday practice and cases from clinical genetics settings - not simply theoretical 'what if' situations.' BioNews (bionews.org.uk)

1. Introduction; 2. The patient in the families; 3. Elective affinities; 4. Reproducing ethics; 5. Multi-professional practices; 6. Moral craft; 7. Methodological reflections.
