[Genomics, self-medication, Bophal, citizenship: why should such a mixed bag matter for the nursing profession? ]
Abstract:
The main themes presented in this issue of AIR (the perspective of a specific role of nurses in the area of clinical genetics-genomics, the expected benefits of a self-medication practice as expression of self-determination and consciousness; the dissociation between the "evidence" of the victims of the Bophal tragic accident and the verdict which denies them "habeas corpus") are the occasion for reflecting on their apparent heterogeneity, to find common threads that could be shaped in a research agenda for the nursing profession. A supplementary provocation is proposed in a book on epidemiology and citizenship, which is the last of the themes discussed in the Editorial.
