Ethical, Legal and Social Implications in Genomics: E-book December 14, 2009

Dan Vorhaus at Genomics Law Report launched a great series featuring many scientists, legal and social experts who talked about the possible implications in genomics. My commentary focused on the web 2.0 aspect of personalized medicine. Now the series is over and they published an e-book which is a must-read for everyone who wants to know more about the ELSI of genomics or personalized medicine.

From October 5 to December 8, 2009, the Genomics Law Report featured a series of thirty-six guest commentaries by industry, academic and thought leaders in the fields of genomics and personalized medicine. Entitled What ELSI is New?, the series, which we have organized into an e-book (pdf), asked each contributor to briefly respond to the following question: “What do you believe is the most important ethical, legal or social issue (ELSI) that must be addressed by the fields of genomics and/or personalized medicine?”
