Personal Genomic Testing, Genetic Inheritance, and Uncertainty.

Journal of bioethical inquiry - 1 Dec 2017

Mason Paul H

Abstract excerpt

The case outlined below is the basis for the In That Case section of the "Ethics and Epistemology of Big Data" symposium. Jordan receives reports from two separate personal genomic tests that provide intriguing data about ancestry and worrying but ambiguous data about the potential risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. What began as a personal curiosity about genetic inheritance turns into an alarming situation...
