Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Human Genetics
  • Medical Ethics

Background:

  • Ethical issues in human genetics are not new, evolving from 1970s bioethics concerns.
  • Bioethics historically focused on patient-centered issues but is expanding to social justice and healthcare systems.
  • Genetic counseling already integrates bioethical principles like informed consent and consultand-centered ethics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the evolution of bioethics in the context of the Human Genome Project (HGP).
  • To highlight the shift in bioethics from patient-centered to socially oriented concerns.
  • To emphasize the importance of ethics training for professionals in human genetics.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of bioethics and human genetics.
