It makes a strong case for taking identity interests into account in the governance of bioinformation and provides clear instructions for how we can do justice to identity interests in the context of personal bioinformation … This makes it not just relevant for people collecting and governing bioinformation but for ethicists who examine technologies and practices that may impact our identity interests (for instance, neurointerventions or digital profiling) as well as researchers concerned with philosophy of identity … [The book is] an exciting and original contribution to the literature. Surely - and hopefully - it will impact future debates, policies, and legislation on access to information about our bodies, health, and biological relationships.'

This escalation presents challenges to us all when it comes to deciding how to manage this information and what should be disclosed to the very people it describes. This book establishes the ethical imperative to take seriously the potential impacts on our identities of encountering bioinformation about ourselves. Emily Postan argues that identity interests in accessing personal bioinformation are currently under-protected in law and often linked to problematic bio-essentialist assumptions. Drawing on a picture of identity constructed through embodied self-narratives, and examples of people's encounters with diverse kinds of information, Postan addresses these gaps. This book provides a robust account of the source, scope, and ethical significance of our identity-related interests in accessing – and not accessing – bioinformation about ourselves, and the need for disclosure practices to respond appropriately.
