One assumption frequently made by researchers and policy makers about individuals willingness to participate in genetic research (as well as other forms of medical research) is that as the research involves greater disclosure of personal health information, individuals will be less likely to participate. Prior research supports this assumption (National Health Council, 2000, p. 18). We asked the following four questions (Questions 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D) related to this issue ...

These two reports make the specific point that precaution is not synonymous with radical prevention. Now, three years after their publication, we must conclude -based on the Government s response, the many discussions, and trends in policy practice since then - that the attempt made to redefine precaution has not been successful so far. There is a lingering association between the term precaution and radical prevention. At the same dme, the precautionary principle...
