I am investigfating the implications of pharmacogenomics- the use of genome information in prescribing medications, and of course, medications tailored to one's particular genome. I feel that this brings up all sorts of issues such as the simple query- What is health? Won't everyone have something 'wrong' with them, in this model? What sorts of things will come to be classified as problewms when this comes into practice? I will also investigate some of the stuff we have been talking about in class such as who owns the genomic information and what sorts of practices could even begin to prevent the spreading of such info. I am looking mostly at websites (which are really scary and non-sequitorial for anyone interested) like HireHealth.com, but any sites or journals that anyone could suggest would be totally welcomed. Thanks a lot.
