LONDON – In early February 2010, a United States federal district court in New York began deciding a landmark case as to whether individuals have a “right to know” about how their own genomes can dictate their future health. The case, American Civil Liberties Union v. Myriad Genetics , may have a tremendous impact on medicine and science.
伦敦 ——2010 年 2 月上旬，纽约一家美国联邦地区法院开始审理一宗具有标志性意义的案件，裁定个人是否对自己体内的基因组将以何种方式决定他们未来的健康状况“有知情权”。这起由 美国民权联盟 起诉 迈里德遗传学公司 的案件可能会在很大程度上影响医学的进步和科学的发展。
