Description

Genetic Technologies and the Law: Cases and Materials Patricia C. Kuszler ISBN 9780890896211

Genetic Technologies and the Law examines the legal questions and challenges created by developments in genetic science and biotechnology. The book explores a wide range of issues, including legal concerns surrounding the research, development, and commercialization of genetic tests and related products. It also discusses how genetic information raises new challenges for traditional concepts of privacy and confidentiality.

Other topics addressed include the changing understanding of parenthood brought about by prenatal genetic testing and advanced reproductive technologies, as well as the influence of genetic science on agriculture, food production, clinical medicine, and public health. The text also considers the potential for genetic discrimination and social stigmatization, along with the growing role of genetic evidence in both civil and criminal legal proceedings.

The book features edited court cases, explanatory commentary, and selected excerpts from relevant policy documents. Each chapter concludes with problems and hypothetical situations designed to encourage critical thinking, legal analysis, and problem-solving. Although primarily intended for law students, the text is also appropriate for interdisciplinary courses that examine the relationship between law and genetics.
