Gene as the new object of anxiety

Genetic research has opened new promises of prediction of what the future might hold for the individual and society at large. However, it has also encouraged new anxieties, false hopes as well as dangers of fraud. The lecture will look at the dark side of today’s fascination with genetics. First, it will tackle the problem of individual anxieties of genetic prediction. Second, it will look at the danger of genetic research in the domain of crime. And, third, it will show how fascination with genetics in the domain of law has opened new possibilities for forensic fraud.
