Chico, V. (2016) Non-disclosure of genetic risks: The case for developing legal wrongs. Medical Law International, 16 (1-2). pp. 3-26. ISSN 0968-5332
Abstract
In ABC v St Georges Healthcare NHS Trust the High Court rejected the argument that doctors have a legal duty to disclose actionable genetic risks to a patient’s relatives. This article reconsiders the concept of a duty to disclose actionable genetic risks in the context of widening perceptions of legal harm and developing professional and public perceptions of corresponding wrongs.
