Summary

The use of genetic screening and testing techniques in relation to life and health insurance raises serious legal and ethical issues. Pressure is now mounting for legislative responses to the perceived threats. Genetics and Insurance addresses the issues at the heart of this debate and provides an analytical framework on which to shape policy.
Genetics and Insurance offers practical guidance to geneticists, medical and bio-ethicists, philosophers, insurance company representatives, and policy makers.
