Reviews
'This is a simply splendid book, at the cutting edge of bioethics, clinical genetics, and the social sciences. This deserves to be a landmark in scholarship on the ethics and practice of clinical medicine. Any clinician, ethicist or social scientist interested in contemporary medical practice would profit from reading it.' Richard Ashcroft, Queen Mary University of London, UK 'I heartily recommend this book both for practitioners of clinical genetics and genetic counselling and for all those interested in the social and ethical issues that arise in the clinical setting. The editors have assembled a very fine set of essays of 'informed reflection' upon these topics, written by a first rate set of international contributors.' Angus Clarke, Cardiff University, UK '...this book is highly recommended for everyone interested in the impact of our actions on future people-not for philosophers only.' Medicine, Health Care & Philosophy '...this book sketches a thorough map of some of the most pressing ethical issues arising from current developments in biomedicine. Its attempt to bridge the gaps between bioethics, genetic medicine, law and sociology is very valuable and makes the volume potentially useful to those from any of these disciplines... this volume shows quite compellingly the importance of taking seriously into account the medical, legal and social contexts in which biomedicine is situated. It will certainly enrich those who are interested in the applied ethics of biomedicine.' Genomics, Society and Policy
