The Prospects for Personalized Medicine
Hastings Center Report 40 (5):14-16 (2012)
Abstract
Personalized medicine—the customization of medical treatment to an individual's genetic profile—aims to both improve outcomes and control costs. But recent news, including scandals involving direct‐to‐consumer genetic tests and questions about targeted cancer therapies, has exposed many ethical hurdles. They are explored here by ethicists, a patient, a medical student, and a consumer advocate.Links
