The science of genetics now forecasts great advances in alleviating disease and prolonging human life, placing the family and kin group under the spotlight.In Experiencing the New Genetics, Kaja Finkler argues that the often uncritical presentation of research on genetic inheritance as well as the attitudes of some in the biomedical establishment contribute to a "genetic essentialism," a new genetic determinism, and the medicalization of kinship in American society. She explores some of the social and cultural consequences of this phenomenon. Finkler discovers that the new genetics can turn a healthy person into a perpetual patient, complicate the redefinition of the family that has been occurring in American society for the past few decades, and lead to the abdication of responsibility for addressing the problem of unhealthy environmental conditions. Experiencing the New Genetics will assist scholars and general readers alike in making sense of this timely and multifaceted issue. 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE$2bisac 606 $aAnthropology / General$2bisac 606 $aFamilies$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aHeredity, Human$xSocial aspects 606 $aKinship 606 $aMedical genetics 606 $aFamilies 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aBiomedical Research 606 $aBiology 606 $aGenotype 606 $aPsychology, Social 606 $aMedicine 606 $aDisease Susceptibility 606 $aSociology 606 $aCongenital, Hereditary, and Neonatal Diseases and Abnormalities 606 $aBehavioral Sciences 606 $aDiseases 606 $aGenetic Phenomena 606 $aDisease Attributes 606 $aSocial Sciences 606 $aHealth Occupations 606 $aBehavioral Disciplines and Activities 606 $aResearch 606 $aBiological Science Disciplines 606 $aBehavior and Behavior Mechanisms 606 $aOccupations 606 $aPsychology 606 $aScience 606 $aNatural Science Disciplines 606 $aPathologic Processes 606 $aPathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms 606 $aGenetics, Medical 606 $aAdoption 606 $aGenetic Determinism 606 $aFamily 606 $aGenetics, Behavioral 606 $aGenetic Research 606 $aAnthropology, Cultural 606 $aGenetics 606 $aGenetic Predisposition to Disease 606 $aGenetic Diseases, Inborn 606 $aAnthropology$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aSocial & Cultural Anthropology$2HILCC 610 $aAnthropology. 610 $aCaregiving. 610 $aFolklore. 610 $aHealth. 610 $aLinguistics. 610 $aMedicine. 610 $aPublic Policy. 610 $aSociology. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE 615 7$aAnthropology / General 615 0$aFamilies$xSocial aspects 615 0$aHeredity, Human$xSocial aspects 615 0$aKinship 615 0$aMedical genetics 615 0$aFamilies 615 2$aAnthropology 615 2$aBiomedical Research 615 2$aBiology 615 2$aGenotype 615 2$aPsychology, Social 615 2$aMedicine 615 2$aDisease Susceptibility 615 2$aSociology 615 2$aCongenital, Hereditary, and Neonatal Diseases and Abnormalities 615 2$aBehavioral Sciences 615 2$aDiseases 615 2$aGenetic Phenomena 615 2$aDisease Attributes 615 2$aSocial Sciences 615 2$aHealth Occupations 615 2$aBehavioral Disciplines and Activities 615 2$aResearch 615 2$aBiological Science Disciplines 615 2$aBehavior and Behavior Mechanisms 615 2$aOccupations 615 2$aPsychology 615 2$aScience 615 2$aNatural Science Disciplines 615 2$aPathologic Processes 615 2$aPathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms 615 2$aGenetics, Medical 615 2$aAdoption 615 2$aGenetic Determinism 615 2$aFamily 615 2$aGenetics, Behavioral 615 2$aGenetic Research 615 2$aAnthropology, Cultural 615 2$aGenetics 615 2$aGenetic Predisposition to Disease 615 2$aGenetic Diseases, Inborn 615 7$aAnthropology 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aSocial & Cultural Anthropology 676 $a306.4/61 700 $aFinkler$b Kaja$0849852 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781887103321 996 $aExperiencing the New Genetics$93852604 997 $aUNINA
