Episode 1: Genetic Diseases - Balancing Confidentiality and the Right to Know
Update: 2021-03-23
Description
Aljaz and Tiemo explore an interesting area of the law in the UK. A recent case of ABC v St George's Healthcare NHS Trust offered a new perspective on an issue of genetic disorders in a familial sense. Genetic disorders can greatly affect one’s health situation, whether through the disease itself or also simply knowing it exists and the possibility of getting it. Aljaz and Tiemo discuss and attempt to answer the question of whether there should be a legal right to be informed about a family member’s genetic disorder utilizing the ABC case as reference. They use the case as a guide; however, discussion quickly drifts to what implications such a duty may have.
Both Aljaz and Tiemo are excited to hear your opinions on this topic.
