BMC Medical Ethics, 23(1), 5-. https://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12910-022-00744-5 | Project: | 03INS000945C430) | Journal: | BMC Medical Ethics | Abstract: | As a consequence of precision medicine initiatives, genomic technologies have rapidly spread around the world, raising questions about genetic privacy and the ethics of data sharing. Previous scholarship in bioethics and science and technology studies has made clear that different nations have varying expectations about trust, transparency, and public reason in relation to emerging technologies and their governance. The key aims of this article are to assess genetic literacy, perceptions of genetic testing, privacy concerns, and governing norms amongst the Singapore population by collecting surveys. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/160182 | ISSN: | 1472-6939 | DOI: | 10.1186/s12910-022-00744-5 | Schools: | School of Social Sciences Asian School of the Environment School of Biological Sciences |
