摘要

This paper looks at popular cultural artifacts (films, television programs, magazines, and books) to consider the ways in which genetics and genetic technology are changing public thinking about health, behaviors, and reproduction, setting up a new system for evaluating choices and technologies within a genetic paradigm. Genetic thinking embroils us in a system of surveillance: discovering, reading, and interpreting our genomes has become the cutting edge of medical health practices. Yet, the lack of options for effective genetic interventions means that this surveillance system ends up supporting a largely preventa-tive view of medicine, even to the point of "preventing" the birth of a child with a potential genetic problem. Ultimately, genetic knowledge is limiting and proscribing our health choices, not expanding them.
