Description

As genetic technologies advance, the ability to detect the onset of future disabilities becomes a reality. This book examines the growing risks associated with the prevalence of genetic testing and the potential for misuse by third parties. As research suggests certain behavioral profiles, such as risk-taking or the determination to succeed, may have a genetic basis, the need for legal protection grows. This text explores the dangers of genetic information being used to discriminate against individuals. It addresses how specific genetic profiles could be unfairly targeted by employers, educational facilities, and providers of social goods and services, including insurance companies. By offering transatlantic perspectives, this work examines the case for a European level legal response to protect individuals from being marginalized based on their biological data. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of medical technology, law, and social science.
