title = "Contextualizing the Cultural and Medico-Legal Debate on Adult Genetic Testing",
abstract = "In the context of genetic testing and screening, Germany and Israel generally represent contrasting legal regulations and professional outlooks, particularly in relation to reproductive, prenatal genetic testing and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). This chapter locates the national policies regarding adult genetic testing against their cultural backdrop, and discusses the notion of {\textquoteleft}genetic responsibility{\textquoteright}. We further focus on two paradigmatic cases of predictive genetic testing for late-onset diseases: Huntington{\textquoteright}s disease and colon cancer.",
