Description - The New Genetics and The Public's Health by Robin Bunton
The rapid advancement of genetic science, fuelled by the Human Genome Project and other related initiatives, promises a new kind of public health practice based on the pre-detection of disease according to calculations of genetic risk. This book explores the implications of the new genetics for public health as a body of knowledge and a domain of practice; assesses the impact of new genetic information and technologies on conceptions of health, illness, embodiment, self and citizenship; and critically examines the complex discourses surrounding human genetics and public health. The book addresses the emerging social and political consequences of the new genetics and provides a critique of current research and practice in public health.
