  • Illich, Education, and the Human Genome Project: Reflections on Paradoxical Counterproductivity.Jason Scott Robert - 1998 - Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society 18 (4):228-239.
    The Human Genome Project (HGP) brings genetics and genetic knowledge to the point of paradoxical counterproductivity. Population-wide genetic screens, replacing specific tests intended for and useful to those at risk, become counterproductive when the HGP's "normal human " defines everybody as at risk. More over, the knowledge generated by the HGP disables those whom it is meant to serve: We are rendered impotent as a laity, subject to expertise regarding the truth of our being. The standard response here is that (...)

Our aim in this paper is not to resolve the moral and conceptual problems we reveal, but rather to outline ways to prevent such problems from arising in (...)

  • “What Do You Think about Genetic Medicine?” Facilitating Sociable Public Discourse on Developments in the New Genetics.Robyn Shaw, Aidan Davison, Renato Schibeci & Ian Barns - 2000 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 25 (3):283-308.
    An important aspect of any meaningful public discussion about developments in gene technology is the provision of opportunities for interested publics to engage in sociable public discourse with other lay people and with experts. This article reports on a series of peer group conversations conducted in late 1996 and early 1997 with sixteen community groups in Perth, Western Australia, interested in gene therapy technology. With the case of cystic fibrosis as a particular focus, and using background resource material as a (...)
