The Impact of mapping the human genome on the patient-physician relationship / Educating clinicians about genetics / Medicine, gene therapy, and society / The Genome Project and health service for minority populations / Genetics and reproductive decision making / Access to the genome and federal entitlement programs / The Implications of the Human Genome Project for access to health insurance / Genetics and employment: more disability discrimination / The Human Genome Project and the distribution of scarce medical resources / The Human Genome Project: its impact on medical practice / The Genome and access to health care: two key ethical issues / The Genetic factor in health care reform: framing the policy debate / Albert R. Jonsen -- Vincent M. Riccardi -- William J. Polvino and W. French Anderson -- Herbert Nickens -- Mary Anne Bobinski -- Maxwell J. Mehlman -- Deborah A. Stone -- Adrienne Asch -- Norman Daniels -- Robert F. Murray, Jr. -- Thomas H. Murray -- Mark A. Rothstein.
This book examines how the Human Genome Project will reshape American health care. Leading scholars explore the clinical, ethical, legal, and policy implications of the Genome Project to see how it may affect the forms of health care available, who delivers it, who receives it, and who pays for it. Genetic prediction of future diseases - whether ineluctable certainties such as Huntington's, or uncertain "predispositions" for cancers, heart disease, and the like - will affect how patients and health professionals interact. It may force major reconsideration of certain institutions - such as health, life, and disability insurance - that rely on information about individuals' risks of illness and death. We may question what valid social purposes those institutions play and whether they are likely to become socially and ethically dysfunctional in light of the more extensive predictions that genetic information may make possible.
