Abstract
"New knowledge about human genetics, and the links between genetic inheritance and susceptibility to diseases, have important ethical implications. Medical scientists can now identify the presence of some abnormal genes by simple tests that are easy to administer. But what uses might be made of this knowledge? Who should share it? What are the implications for people identified as having an abnormal gene or genes? For their families? For society?" (p. 1)
