Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
This book is an essential resource to understanding the intersection of medical genetics and law. In a unique approach, it provides an overview on the biological principles of DNA basics and genetic inheritance linking the knowledge with the ethical and legal challenges presented by modern developments in genetics.
The first chapters educate the reader in key concepts such as cell division, genetic inheritance, genome study methods, genetic screening and testing across various countries. It further expands into complex issues where regulation is required, in particular: controversial aspects of genetic modifications, ethical concerns around patient confidentiality and biobanks' role in linking genetic variation to complex diseases. It includes legal cases regarding negligence claims from conception to adulthood and reflects on the impact of present and future developments in genomics on the law.
Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how developments in genetics impact individuals and society, helping them navigate this rapidly evolving field. Given the interdisciplinary approach, the book is suitable for both medical and law students, practicing lawyers, medical practitioners, and genetic counselors. It is particularly beneficial for those who deal with medical negligence and need to understand the genetic aspects of such cases.
