Scientific and ethical aspects of genetic screening of workers for cancer risk: the case of the N-acetyltransferase phenotype.

Journal of clinical epidemiology - 1 Feb 1995

Vineis P, Schulte P A

Abstract excerpt

Our expanding capacity to detect human genetic susceptibility to various chronic diseases presents us with the opportunity to screen asymptomatic people for purposes of employment, insurance or credit. It also brings with it the responsibility of deciding the ethical and social value of such applications. This paper addresses scientific and ethical issues involved in the use of genetic screening techniques which...
