This book is a comprehensive empirically-grounded exploration of the relationship between bioethics culture and the perspective of being affected. It provides a new outlook on how complex bioethical issues become questions of everyday life. The authors focus on two contexts genetic testing and end-of-life care to locate and demonstrate emerging themes of responsibility such as self-responsibility responsibility for kin and the responsibility of society. Within these themes the duty to know versus the right not to know one's genetic fate (in the context of genetic testing) or the sanctity of life versus self-determination (in the context of end of life care) are identified as culturally embedded dilemmas that are very much relevant for lay persons. Furthermore cultural factors such as religion history utopian and dystopian views of biomedical technologies outlooks on the body and on health illness and citizenship are examined. Health issues are increasingly becoming a question of assessing risk and responsibility: How can we better prepare ourselves for the future? We all make such assessments in a way that combines personal inclinations professional recommendations and cultural framings. There is still much to be learned about the interplay between these three dimensions.
