Media Reviews
'Rarely does a book comprise so many large and growing legal questions. The Ethics and Governance of Human Databases is a very worthy book which addresses issues that are opening up every day - sometimes under our feet.' Law and Politics Book Review
'The book presents a truly interdisciplinary investigation containing, as it does, input from disciplines of philosophy, law and sociology. The authors are amongst the most recognised in the research field and the book benefits, as does the reader, from their collective knowledge expertise. …This book provides a comprehensive account of the key issues at stake with regards to the ethics and governance of HGD's. … A major strength of the book is that it reflects on actual or proposed HGD initiatives, providing a 'real life' dimension to most of the discussion. … It is a welcome addition to the HGD literature.' SCRIPT-ed
'The book is a very rich source to learn more about sociological, legal and ethical issues concerning the HGDs in the four countries. … Wherever the future of HDGs lies, the book is an authentic contribution for the struggle to find adequate legal, ethical and socio-political solutions in Europe.' Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy: A European Journal
'… a useful resource …' European Law Journal
