"Biobanks are proliferating rapidly worldwide because they are powerful tools and organisational structures for undertaking medical research. By linking samples to data on the health of individuals, it is anticipated that biobanks will be used to explore the relationship between genes, environment and lifestyle for many diseases, as well as the potential of individually-tailored drug treatments based on genetic predisposition. However, they also raise considerable challenges for existing legal frameworks and research governance structures. This book critically examines the current governance structures in place for biobanks in England and Wales. It shows that the technologies, techniques and practices involved in biobanking do not always conform neatly to existing legal principles and frameworks that apply to other areas of medical research. Using a socio-legal approach, including interview data gathered from the scientific community, this book provides unique insights and makes recommendations about appropriate governance mechanisms for biobanking in the future. It also explores the issues around the secondary use of information, such as consent and how to protect privacy, when biobanks are accessed by a number of different third parties. These issues have relevance both within England and Wales and to a wide international audience, as well as for other areas where large datasets are used."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Scientists, investors, policymakers, the media, and the general public have all displayed continuing interest in the commercial promise and the potential dangers of genetic engineering. In this book, Herbert Gottweis explains how genetic engineering became so controversial - a technology that some seek to promote by any means and others want to block entirely. Beginning with a clear exposition of poststructuralist theory and of its implications for research methodology, Gottweis takes a novel approach to political analysis, emphasizing the role of narratives in the development of policy.
