Abstract excerpt

With the advent of genomic research, a new category of risk has emerged--genetic risk--from which an individual cannot be separated. Among the outcomes of this model is a discussion on personal accountability, according to which an individual may both be exempted from events related to certain states of health ("blame it on the genes") or be blamed for those events ("transmitter of disease").
