What will it mean in terms of who has/can have access to the information? What about the right not to know? How will people deal with genetic risk profiles? etc. A wave of questions is unleashed as soon as the topic is touched upon. More than enough reason to dig deeper into this issue and prepare for a fruitful debate. It is with this intention in mind that the Genetic Center of the University Hospital of the Catholic University of Leuven, leader of a research project among various genetic centers in Flanders, turned to Pantopicon.
After framing the scope of the societal debate, Pantopicon set out to chart the various future challenges concerning the theme as identified by both experts and lay people. Future scenarios will be developed in order to stimulate and guide debate.
