Case Analysis in Clinical Ethics
Case Analysis in Clinical Ethics is an eclectic review from a team of leading ethicists covering the main methods for analysing ethical problems in modern medicine. Anneke Lucassen, a clinician, begins by presenting an ethically challenging genetics case drawn from her clinical experience. It is then analysed from different theoretical points of view. Each ethicist takes a particular approach, illustrating it in action and giving the reader a basic grounding in its central elements. Each chapter can be read on its own, but comparison between them gives the reader a sense of how far methodology in medical ethics matters, and how different theoretical starting points can lead to different practical conclusions. At the end, Anneke Lucassen gives a clinician's response to the various ethical methods described. Practising clinical ethicists and students on upper level undergraduate and Master's degree courses in medical ethics and applied philosophy will find this invaluable.
Practical Genetics for Primary Care
There are many books about genetics, but none have addressed the specific primary care aspects of genetics. This book addresses these and covers all the issues relevant to primary care. There is a user- friendly description of molecular biology terms and techniques which many generalpractitioners have no experience of, but which is increasingly relevant in the consulting room. Other aspects particularly relevant to primary care are covered, such as the skills needed by primary care workers to undertake genetic consultations together with discussions of models of care that willbe helpful. The book covers in detail topics such as genetic mechanisms, ethics and the genetic tests available.
Genetics and Genomics in Medicine
The second edition of this textbook written for undergraduate students, graduate students and medical researchers, Genetics and Genomics in Medicine explains the science behind the uses of genetics and genomics in medicine today, and how it is being applied. Maintaining the features that made the first edition so popular, this second edition has been thoroughly updated in line with the latest developments in the field. DNA technologies are explained, with emphasis on the modern techniques that are revolutionizing the use of genetic information in medicine and indicating the role of genetics in common diseases. Epigenetics and non-coding RNA are covered in-depth as are genetic approaches to t...

Genetics and Genomics in Medicine
Genetics and Genomics in Medicine is a new textbook written for undergraduate students, graduate students, and medical researchers that explains the science behind the uses of genetics and genomics in medicine today. Rather than focusing narrowly on rare inherited and chromosomal disorders, it is a comprehensive and integrated account of how geneti

Ethical Problems and Genetics Practice
Provides a rich, case-based account of the ethical issues arising in genetics for health professionals, patients and their families.
Medical Genetics
A Witness Seminar on the emergence of complex ethical issues in clinical genetics practice, the evolution of these issues over several decades of advances in medical genetics research and social change, and the professionalization of this field. Chaired by Professor Anneke Lucassen(Southampton) with an introduction by Professor Richard Ashcroft (QMUL). '... most of us going in as clinicians and coming out as clinical geneticists had absolutely zero grounding in philosophy, psychology, or any other kind of 'ology' really.' Professor Peter Harper '... the whole healthcare system is geared up to the individual, largely, to the person with a symptom who comes and needs to be assessed and investigated and treated and so on. ... the true patient in the genetics clinic is the family, not only the individual.' Professor Peter Turnpenny
A Guide to Cancer Genetics in Clinical Practice
FIRST PRIZE Winner in the Oncology category of the 2010 BMA Medical Book Competition. Intensive research over the last fifteen years has yielded a vast expansion in our understanding of the role of inheritance and genetics in a variety of cancers. Several inherited conditions have been identified which result in a high risk of various cancers; some of these were previously recognized, but the genetic basis underlying them has now been elucidated. This knowledge is now entering the sphere of routine clinical care. Surgeons, gastroenterologists, gynaecologists, oncologists, endocrinologists and many others need an awareness of these disorders, an understanding of genetic testing and when it is...
Leading Works in Health Law and Ethics
Health and healthcare are vitally important to all of us, and academic interest in the law regulating health has, over the last 50 years, become an important field of academic study. An analysis of the development of, changes in, and scope of health law and ethics to date, is both timely and of interest to students and scholars alike, along with an exploration of its likely future development. This work brings together contributions from leading and emerging scholars in the field. Each contributor has been invited to select and analyse a ‘leading work’, which has for them shed light on the way that health law and ethics has developed. The chapters are both autobiographical, reflecting up...
