About
"This is the first volume to draw together a range of sociological perspectives on the new genetics. The chapters are organized around three themes: (1) how genetic knowledge is produced and structured, including professional perspectives and public images; (2) the role of genetic counselling and lay perspectives on social meanings of genetics; and (3) the impact and implications of the new genetics for society. The nine papers demonstrate the social context of genetics and provide an important reminder that issues around genetics are not limited to those with genetic disorders of identified genetic susceptibilities, but rather the new genetics is likely to affect all of us."--BOOK JACKET.
