The concept of "geneticization" helps analyze how genetics influences medicine, society, and culture. This perspective is crucial for understanding the ethical debates surrounding bio-molecular technologies and their impact on human identity.

Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Sociology of Science
  • Medical Humanities

Background:

  • A resurgence of "medical utopia" is observed, where science and technology are expected to solve all human problems.
  • This optimistic outlook deeply influences bioethical debates on bio-molecular technologies, focusing on individual benefits and applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and utilize the concept of "geneticization" for analyzing the complex interplay between genetics, medicine, society, and culture.
  • To explore how genetic knowledge and technology reshape individual and societal attitudes, ethical considerations, and philosophical views.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis using the framework of "geneticization."
  • Examination of interrelations between genetics, medicine, societal norms, and cultural values.
Keywords:
