Reviews
a This volume is a landmark for demythologising the buzzword a /personalised medicinea , critically differentiating between hype and false hopes on the one hand and realistic approaches and outlooks on the other. By comprehensively comprising a wide range of excellent normative and empirical studies, it empowers anyone interested in better understanding the presuppositions and consequences of the term a /personalised medicinea to form a well-informed judgement on one of the most augured ideas in cutting-edge medicine.a (TM) Peter Dabrock, University of Erlangen, Germany, and Vice Chair of the German Ethics Council and member of the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies (EGE)
