Eighteen contributions from academics and practitioners address a range of <br />
social and ethical issues at the intersection of computing technology and <br />
genomic research. Early chapters describe four frameworks for analyzing specific <br />
controversies: moral, legal, policy, and scientific research. The remaining <br />
chapters are arranged into sections covering the ethics of privacy and <br />
confidentiality; property rights issues involving genetic/genomic data; and <br />
future challenges relating to genomic research.<br />
