BIOETHICS, LAW, AND GENETICS
In the era of revolutionary development of the life sciences, genetics
takes the leading role. It has positioned the main determinants of the human
genetic map and resolved the issues for prevention and treatment of
many diseases. Furthermore, genetic technologies have proved to have solutions
for resolving the food deficiency problem, etc. But on the other
hand, genetic testing and interventions may lead to significant breach of
the fundamental human rights and freedoms, labelling the individuals and
even change and destroy the humanity itself.
Genetic testing could detect gene mutations and increased risk to some
diseases, but the results could be misused by employers and insurance
companies. The creation of the artificial bacterial genome could be used
for production of vaccines, genetically modified food, etc., but could also
be abused in creating genetically modified biological agents as biological
weapons.
The application of the genetic technologies and methods should be
strictly regulated by law, preceded by a comprehensive bioethical discussion
in order to define the line between permitted and prohibited acts.
BIOETIKA, PRAVO I GENETIKA
U doba revolucionarnog razvoja znanosti o životu, genetika ima vodeću
ulogu. Genetika je pozicionirala glavne odrednice ljudske genetske karte
i riješila pitanja prevencije i liječenja mnogih bolesti. Nadalje, genetičke
su tehnologije pokazale da imaju rješenja za probleme nedostatka hrane,
itd. No, s druge strane, genetsko testiranje i intervencije mogu dovesti do
znatnog kršenja temeljnih ljudskih prava i sloboda, etiketiranja pojedinaca,
pa čak i promijeniti i uništiti čovječanstvo.
Stvaranje umjetnog bakterijskog genoma može se koristiti za proizvodnju
cjepiva, genetički modificirane hrane, itd., ali također može biti
