Abstract/OtherAbstract
:
|
This chapter summarises some of the problems associated with privacy and genetic information in the medical context of genetic testing. It outlines some of the major reasons why legislation is needed to protect our genetic privacy. The chapter suggests that legislation is needed to protect medical records; address the sharing of genetic information and the consent process; prohibit the collection or analysis of genetic samples without consent; and, guide and protect the collection, storage, access and destruction of genetic information. |
