Actor-Network Theory: a tool to support ethical analysis of commercial genetic testing

1 Jan 2003

Abstract excerpt

Social, ethical and policy analysis of the issues arising from gene patenting and commercial genetic testing is enhanced by the application of science and technology studies, and Actor-Network Theory (ANT) in particular. We suggest the potential for transferring ANT's flexible nature to an applied heuristic methodology for gathering empirical information and for analysing the complex networks involved in the...
