Published in 2004, this collection will encourage and foster informed discussion of key issues as society comes to grips with the implications of genetic engineering, the mapping and sequencing of the human genome, and the advent of the post-genomic era. The contributors are prominent social scientists, health specialists, journalists, bioethicists and commercial representatives from the UK, Finland, Germany, Holland and Norway who are at the leading edge of current research. the book will therefore appeal to the interested public, health and other professionals, teachers and students.

This book was originally published as part of the Cardiff Papers in Qualitative Research series edited by Paul Atkinson, Sara Delamont and Amanda Coffey. The series publishes original sociological research that reflects the tradition of qualitative and ethnographic inquiry developed at Cardiff. The series includes monographs reporting on empirical research, edited collections focussing on particular themes, and texts discussing methodological developments and issues.

Industry Reviews

'Debate over the implications of the "new" genetics needs to be informed by a critical and robust analysis of precisely what is new about this field. This international collection of papers, edited by a highly-respected contributor to the area, provides a thorough and extremely valuable exploration of this question.' Andrew Webster, York University, UK '...a significant addition to a field that is growing in social and economic relevance...Each of the issues depicted in this volume deserves careful scrutiny in order to ensure desirable developments and a useful framework for all stakeholders and professionals, as well as for the improvement of the public understanding of these issues.'
