Genetics and Personalized Medicine
This research examines the ethical and social implications of genetics and personalized medicine in Switzerland, focusing on prenatal genomic testing and gene editing, and governance frameworks.
Within the evolving realm of Genetics and Personalized Medicine, our research critically examines the ethical and social ramifications of rapidly advancing genomic technologies, with a specific focus on their translation and impact within Switzerland.
We delve into the complex ethical considerations surrounding Prenatal Genomic Testing, including issues of human rights, dignity, the potential for eugenics, autonomy in decision-making, informed consent processes, and equitable access. Furthermore, our work explores the Ethics of Genetic Therapies, investigating stakeholder perspectives on emerging gene editing technologies and their potential societal and ethical implications
By analyzing these critical areas, our research aims to contribute to a nuanced understanding of the ethical landscape of Personalised Medicine and inform its responsible development and implementation within the Swiss healthcare system.
