Summary

The chapters in this Part discuss the existing and evolving threats to privacy and discrimination of individuals that arise from the rapid growth in direct-to-consumer genetic testing. From shortcomings in the governance of genetic privacy, to evolving trends in reproductive genetics, these authors push us to think about gaps in governance of consumer genetics through both real-world and hypothetical examples.
