Learn More about the Book
With the advent of the Human Genome Project, the new genetics has moved to the cutting edge of science and medicine. The development and use of such genetics will have a profound impact on our understanding of disease and behaviour. This volume presents new sociological research which explores the structure andproduction of genetic knowledge, its social meaning, impact and implication s for society.
On the Back Cover
We are at the dawn of a new age. The Human Genome Project, the largest biological research enterprise in history, promises to have our entire genetic structure mapped by 2001. Our media report new scientific claims of genes associated with diseases, conditions, behaviours or personality traits so regularly that it seems that we are being provided with a gene-of-the week. The new genetics revolution has ramifications far beyond the esoteric science of molecular biological laboratories. The rising genetic paradigm is influencing how we think about life, including disease and disability, human capacities and failings, social problems, kinship and the quality of life.
This is the first volume to draw together a range of sociological perspectives on the new genetics. The chapters are organized around three key themes:
The nine papers demonstrate the social context of genetics and provide an important reminder that issues around genetics are not limited to genetic disorders or identified genetic susceptibilities, but rather the new genetics is likely to affect all of us.
