This volume investigates the complex intersection of rapid genomic advancement and its profound implications for social, legal, and ethical frameworks in the twenty-first century. Edited by Paul Anthony Atkinson, the text compiles contributions from leading scholars in sociology, law, and science studies to analyze how genetic knowledge is produced, regulated, and integrated into global markets. The contributors utilize a multidisciplinary approach to examine the tension between biomedical innovation and the preservation of individual rights, public health, and social equity.
