Описание: This book discusses the ongoing and future decline in the human species. The circumstances of the decline are generally due to well-meant motives to improve the human condition. They will provide short term benefits but will result in major long term difficulties and an overall decline of the human species. Topics discussed include: The Rise of Man, Genetic Disasters, Birth Defects, Natural Changes in Human Genes, Genetic Selection for the Least Fittest, Disease/War Driven Genetic Decline, Hybrid Human-Animal Species, Social Implications of Hybrids, Religious Implications of Hybrids, Super-Human Species - Obsoleting Man, Overpopulation Constraints, Restraints on Population Growth, Achieving a Standard of Living Comparable to the United States, Population Reduction, Pollution Effects, Pollution Today and Projected for Tomorrow, Genetic Effects of Pollution, Reducing Pollution, Is Pollution Inevitable?, Global Warming, Global Temperatures over the Millenniums prior to 10,000 BC, Global Warming Today and Tomorrow, Desertification, World Deserts Today, Growth of World Deserts, Arid Earth?, Reversing Desertification, Poverty, Population and Morality, Poverty Today in Underdeveloped Countries, Poverty in Developed Countries, Political Impact of Poverty, Impact of Poverty on Population Growth, Impact of Poverty on Public Morality, Rising Violence, Violence in the Recent Past, Current Levels of Violence, Social and Political Impact of Violence, Epidemics, Past Epidemics, Epidemics Today, Growth in Epidemic Potential with Increasing Population, Epidemics as a Method of -Culling- the Human Species, Wars, War's Effect on Population, War in the Future, Nuclear Wars are Likely, World Leadership Failure, Reduction of the Population to -Cattle-, Towards a Superior Human Species?, Natural Genetic Improvements, Engineered Genetic Improvements, Cybernetic Hybrids of, and Alternatives to, Man, and What of Those Left Behind?

Описание: The adult patient diagnosed with or at risk for a neurogenetic disease has many questions and concerns for the genetic counselor, the neurologist, and other practitioners. Because of the emotional and potentially life-altering impact of these diseases on the patient and family, counseling can be especially challenging. A rare hands-on guide to the subject, Genetic Counseling for Adult Neurogenetic Disease deals with core issues that differentiate adult neurogenetic counseling from its more familiar pediatric counterpart. This innovative book with accompanying videos is designed to fill in deficits in this area typical of training programs in genetic counseling (which have pediatrics and prenatal concentrations) and neurology (which rarely cover genetic counseling). For each condition featured, chapters include a detailed overview of genetic symptoms, diagnostic criteria, and management, plus guidelines for asking, and answering, pertinent questions. The major concentration, however, is on genetic counseling issues and case histories illustrating these issues. As an added dimension, the accompanying videos depict representative issues and challenges in genetic counseling for specific diseases in addition to the basics of a neurological examination. Among the conditions discussed: * Movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease. * Dementias, including Alzheimer's disease. * Stroke. * Motor neuron diseases. * Neuropathies and channelopathies. * Adult muscular dystrophies. * Neurocutaneous syndromes. * Plus a section on neurological and neuropsychological evaluation. This is information that will stay relevant as technologies change and genetic understanding evolves. Genetic Counseling for Adult Neurogenetic Disease offers advanced clinical wisdom for genetic counselors as well as neurologists, neuropsychologists, and other referring clinicians.

Описание:

This important book proposes revising the current informed consent protocol for predictive genetic testing to reflect the trend toward patient-centered medicine. Emphasizing the predictive aspect of testing, the author analyzes the state of informed consent procedure in terms of three components: comprehension of risk assessment, disclosure to select appropriate treatment, and voluntariness. The book's revised model revisits these cornerstones, restructuring the consent process to allow for expanded comprehension time, enhanced patient safety, greater patient involvement and autonomy, and reduced chance of coercion by family or others. A comparison of the current and revised versions and case studies showing the new model in real-world applications add extra usefulness to this resource.

Included in the coverage:

• The science behind PGT.
• Understanding genetic risks and probability.
• The history of informed consent.
• Revised model of informed consent: comprehension, disclosure, voluntariness, patient safety.
• Applications of the model in DTC and pleiotropic genetic testing.
• Implementation of the revised model, and assessing its effectiveness.

A milestone in the bioethics literature, Informed Consent in Predictive Genetic Testing will be of considerable interest to genetic counselors, medical and bioethicists, and public health professionals.

Описание: This is the first book to critically evaluate the empirical evidence and the theoretical usefulness of the concept of "genetic discrimination." It discusses the advantages and limitations of adopting the concept, and offers a more complex account distinguishing between several dimensions and forms of genetic discrimination.
