Responsible Genetics (eBook, PDF)

The Moral Responsibility of Geneticists for the Consequences of Human Genetics Research

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book addresses well-known issues - the ethical, legal, and social implications of human genetics - but does so from an unusual perspective: the perspective of the scientific community itself. In distinction to what is common in the ELSI literature, the book also discusses bioethical method. A new kind of casuistry is developed on the basis of the empirical findings of cognitive semantics. It will be of interest to philosophers, bioethicists, geneticists, and policymakers.
