Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the historical and legal perspectives on genetic diseases, highlighting societal attitudes and legislative actions. It discusses the longstanding stigma surrounding genetic conditions, illustrated by laws on sterilization and consanguineous marriages. The reactive nature of case law contrasts with the often hasty and poorly conceived statutes enacted by state legislatures without adequate expert input. Specific diseases like sickle cell anemia and Tay-Sachs are examined in the context of legislative efforts, culminating in the ongoing consideration of the National Genetic Diseases Act.
