Genetic discrimination in Australia: an exploration of the nature and extent of the phenomenon within the legal and social context.

该项目涉及对澳大利亚新出现的基因歧视现象的全国性开创性研究。这项创新和专题研究由一个拥有广泛专业知识的多学科、跨机构团队进行，将从三个关键角度调查遗传歧视：消费者、第三方和法律制度。它将推进现有的国家和国际知识库，并为进一步的评价研究建立全面的基线数据。将产生三个部门各自的重要成果，以及对这一重要的澳大利亚新社会问题的全面概述。建议将为制定适当的法律和政策提供信息。

This project involves national, groundbreaking research into the newly-emerging phenomenon of genetic discrimination in Australia. Undertaken by a multi-disciplinary, cross-institutional team with a wide range of expertise, this innovative and topical research will investigate genetic discrimination across three key perspectives: consumers, third parties and the legal system. It will advance the existing knowledge base, both nationally and internationally, and establish comprehensive baseline data for further evaluative research. Important outcomes for each of the three sectors will be generated, as well as a comprehensive overview of this important new Australian social issue. Recommendations will inform the development of appropriate law and policy.
