About This Item
Leiden/Boston:: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, 2007.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: printed boards; black with yellow and green; a severe spine slant, otherwise Near Fine condition.. 8vo (9.75 inches tall) . Description: The publisher's blurb reads: ''When genomics and public health are integrated into society it will create as many responsibilities as rights for citizens, researchers, and decision makers. Indeed, the expression of genetic risk factors in both common and infectious diseases is of great interest to public health. Policy development in this area then needs to tackle crucial themes such as: research and its application to public heath and genomic medicine, the authority of the state, the right to privacy, and the roles and responsibilities of citizens and the State. Considering the current fears of world-wide pandemic, this book is timely and insightful exploration of both research possibilities and the role of the state.'' (Remember this prophetic blurb was written in 2007!)
