Résumé
New genetics technologies and their applications in biomedicine have important implications for social identities in contemporary societies. In medicine, new genetics is increasingly important for the identification of health and disease, the imputation of personal and familial risk, and the moral status of those identified as having genetic susceptibility for inherited conditions. There are also consequent transformations in national and ethnic collective identity, and the body and its investigations is potentially transformed by the possibilities of genetics investigations and modifications (including the highly controversial terrains of reproductive technologies and the use of human embryos in biomedical research).
