The first chapters of this book set out a framework for analyzing genetic privacy and confidentiality comparing genetic privacy with other forms of medical privacy. Later chapters deal with such topics as concerns that arise in the health care setting (the patient-physician relationship genetic counseling and privacy); the effect of new technology (the role of commercial genomics forensic DNA applications); nonmedical uses of genetic information (the law of medical and genetic privacy in the workplace implications of genetic testing for health and life insurance); and a review of ethics and law in the United States and abroad. In the concluding chapter Mark A. Rothstein discusses flaws in existing and proposed legislation designed to protect genetic privacy and confidentiality and he offers a new set of guidelines for policy makers.
