Human genetics: choice and responsibility


1998

This is an authoritative and up-to-date assessment of the ethical issues raised by human genetics.

The BMA, drawing on the expertise of a wide range of advisers, has produced a compact and accessible report on a subject of increasing public concern. The report confronts the often conflicting demands of choice and responsibility, opening up the debate about who will control the power unleashed by genetic research, and suggesting practical solutions for doctors, counsellors, patients, and policy makers.
