12. Socio-Economic Burden of Rare Genetic Diseases
13. Biotechnology and Bio-Economy Applications of Genomics
14. Social and Economic Applications of Genomics in the Developing World
15. Challenges of Genomics in Traditional Medical Practices
16. Genetic and Genomic Aspects of Socio-Cultural Beliefs and Practices
17. Genes, Evolution, Spirituality and Religion

19. Social and Health Safeguards for Genetics and Genomics -- The International Law and Regulation
20. Human Genomics and Socioeconomic Progress- Role and Contribution of International Agencies.
Genomics and Society; Ethical, Legal-Cultural, and Socioeconomic Implications is the first book to address the vast and thorny web of ELSI topics identified as core priorities of the NHGRI in 2011. The work addresses fundamental issues of biosociety and bioeconomy as the revolution in biology moves from research lab to healthcare system. Of particular interest to healthcare practitioners, bioethicists, and health economists, and of tangential interest to the gamut of applied social scientists investigating the societal impact of new medical paradigms, the work describes a myriad of issues around consent, confidentiality, rights, patenting, regulation, and legality in the new era of genomic medicine.
