Abstract

|
Understanding the proper concepts of the gene and genetic information plays a key role in rational decision making processes for policy-makers and public in an age of biotechnology. Although gene has been a focal point in the history of genetics in the 20th century, researchers have not yet reached a consensus on its definition. The concepts of the gene and genetic information are still evolving. The addition of new knowledge to the gene and genetic information often raises novel ethical issues on genetic privacy, genetic discrimination, and public uses of genetic information. This article highlights the rise and fall of ethical issues on genetic information in the context of recent development of genetics and genomics.
