In de geneeskunde worden steeds vaker genetische tests toegepast. Zo is het steeds beter mogelijk – nog voordat er ook maar enig symptoom zichtbaar is – het risico te bepalen dat iemand later een bepaalde ziekte zal ontwikkelen. Ook bij ongeboren kinderen kan dit onderzocht worden. Bovendien kan ook vóór de bevruchting al gekeken worden hoe groot de kans is dat een bepaald paar een kind met een genetische aandoening ter wereld zal brengen. Al deze nieuwe mogelijkheden in de diagnostiek zijn het resultaat van vooruitgang op het gebied van genetische tests. Doel van dit soort tests is het geven van informatie. Hierdoor zou men in staat worden gesteld in vrijheid weloverwogen keuzes te maken. Op die manier zouden genetische tests een bijdrage leveren aan de verhoging van de autonomie. Maar de snelle ontwikkeling van genetische tests wordt niet door iedereen als onverdeeld positief beschouwd. Zo zou het gevaar bestaan van ongewenste kennis, nieuwe vormen van eugenetica, genetische discriminatie en verlies van privacy. Vormen de in snel tempo toenemende kennis over ons erfelijk materiaal en de daarmee verbonden nieuwe erfelijkheidsdiagnostiek een doos van Pandora? Of zullen zij uiteindelijk een nuttige bijdrage leveren aan betere preventie en therapie? Dit boek neemt deze vraag op een concreet niveau onder de loep en gaat in op een aantal actuele probleemvelden die samenhangen met de snelle ontwikkeling van genetische tests.

As we are increasingly using new technologies to change ourselves beyond therapy and in accordance with our own desires, understanding the challenges of human enhancement has become one of the most urgent topics of the current age. This volume contributes to such an understanding by critically examining the pros and cons of our growing ability to shape human nature through technological advancements. The authors undertake careful analyses of decisive questions that will confront society as enhancement interventions using bio-, info-, neuro- and nanotechnologies become widespread in the years to come. They provide the reader with the conceptual tools necessary to address such questions fruitfully. What makes the book especially attractive is the combination of conceptual, historical and ethical approaches, which makes it highly original. In addition, the well-balanced structure of the volume allows both favourable and critical views to be voiced. Moreover, the work has a crystal clear structure. As a consequence, the book is accessible to a broad academic audience. The issues raised are of interest to a wide reflective public concerned about science and ethics, as well as to students, academics and professionals in areas such as philosophy, applied ethics, bioethics, medicine and health management.

In this book, developed by a group of collaborating scholars in bioethics from different European countries, an overview is given of the most salient themes in present-day bioethics. The themes are discussed in order to enable the reader to have an in-depth overview of the state of the art in bioethics. Introductory chapters will guide the reader through the relevant dimensions of a particular area, while subsequent case discussions will help the reader to apply the ethical theories to specific clinical problems and health policy queries. The book focuses on perspectives typical for the European context. This highlights not only particular bioethical themes such as social justice, choices in health care, and health policy (e.g., in post-communist countries), it also emphasizes specific approaches in ethical theory, in relation to Continental philosophies such as phenomenology and hermeneutics. Because of its articulation of what is typical for the European health care setting as well as for bioethical debate, this book is unique in comparison to existing textbooks in bioethics. The book is an introductory textbook acquainting the reader with the major issues in present-day health care as well as the various theoretical and practical approaches to clarify these issues.--An overview of salient themes in contemporary bioethics.
