Solving Biotechnological Questions with Genomic Data: A Guide to Ethics and Policy

by Emmanuel A. Kornyo (Author)

In today’s rapidly advancing world of biotechnology, the ability to analyze molecular sequence data has opened up new possibilities in the fields of evolution, medicine, and genetics. However, with these advances come a host of ethical and policy concerns. How should genomic information be used? Who should have access to this data? How accurate are genetic tests and how should they be regulated? These and other complex questions are explored in the thought-provoking book, “Solving Biotechnological Questions with Genomic Data: A Guide to Ethics and Policy”, written by Emmanuel A. Kornyo.

As a bioethicist, biomedical policy expert, and author of several books on the subject, Kornyo brings his expertise to bear in this comprehensive guide. The book is targeted towards bioethicists, biomedical policy experts and lawyers, physicians, nursing and allied health students, as well as science educators, who are interested in exploring the complexities of modern evolutionary, genetic, and biomedical data.

By diving deep into the ethical conundrums surrounding the use of genomic data, Kornyo provides readers with a solid understanding of the issues at hand. From the potential misuse of genetic information to the rights of individuals to make decisions about their own genomic data, the book tackles a wide range of topics. Through well-researched arguments and real-world examples, Kornyo encourages readers to think critically about these ethical dilemmas and consider the impact of genomics on our society.
