In recent years, scientists have begun to uncover the genetic bases for some forms of Alzheimer's disease. Once a chromosomal defect is identified, it becomes possible to devise a test for its presence. The far-reaching implications of such tests are the focus of this volume. The editors bring together experts from the fields of ethics, genetics, policy, neurology, philosophy and anthropology to examine the ethical and social aspects of genetic testing for Alzheimer's disease. The authors begin by focusing on current genetic findings and their clinical applicability. They then address ethical issues in genetic testing and genetic counselling for Alzheimer's disease. They examine social issues such as confidentiality, discrimination and fairness in health care. Finally, they discuss ways to educate professionals and laypeople regarding these issues.
