Considering the path of nutrigenomics: a pragmatic ethical approach

2013 
Onderzoek in nutrigenomics, het nieuwste voedingsonderzoek, belooft een toekomst waarin nauwkeuriger de gezondheidsrisico’s van verschillende eetgewoonten per persoon kunnen worden berekend. Dit klinkt fantastisch, maar hoe verandert dit onze ideeen over eten en gezondheid en welke ethische consequenties zitten hier aan vast.Nutrigenomics research promises a future in which health risks of different diets can be exactly calculated on a personal basis. This seems great, but we need to consider how this will change our ideas about eating and health, and reflect on the ethical consequences of such a change. Therefore normative assumptions are compared within nutrigenomics research with norms about food, genes and health in everyday life.
