This volume brings together contributions exploring the mutual relationship between genetics, markets, societies, and identities in genetics and genomics. It draws upon the recent interdisciplinary debate on how socio-cultural factors influence attitudes towards the usage of, and the belief in, 'genetics2.

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.
