This award honours an individual who dares to “speak the unspeakable” in advancing the study and culture of disability, and who has enriched through research, teaching, or activism, the lives of Canadians with disabilities. CDSA-ACEI is grateful for the support and permission of Tanis’ family to honour her achievements in Disability Studies with this award.” Thank you to Mary Anne Burke President of the BIAS Free Co-operative former Director of Research at the Roeher Institute and former staff of the Global Forum for Health Research (Geneva) where she led work on health inequities including advocating for broader inclusion of disabled people’s in setting global research for health agendas for nominating me

9. Genetic Questions Virtual Round Table New frontiers in medicine Genetics Englisch Below question one to 5 what I answered and what others answered. THis is an initiative from Italy
10. Genetic QuestionsMolecular biology is progressively modifying premises and methods of medical action. From this starting point, how would you re-formulate the question regarding the aims of medicine?
11. Genetic QuestionsHuman genetics is considered a new frontier subject, and rightly so. How do you think that the new prospects offered by genetics can affect two everyday questions. Firstly, the allocation of health service resources in richer countries and, secondly, health and environmental policies both in and directed towards poor countries (where even water supplies are a problem)?
12. Genetic QuestionsApplying genetics requires enormous capital. The old problem of the relationship between economic interests, research and health has a new twist and calls public institutions into action. What is your opinion about the Icelandic case, where the national Parliament has authorised a private firm, giving it a virtual monopoly, to gather detailed information about the health background and the biological constitution of its citizens in order to re-elaborate the findings for profit-making purposes?
13. Genetic QuestionsGenetic tests are already used and they will certainly increase over the next few years. The prediction of a future and/or possible illness raises new problems: the correct perception of risk, the so-called therapeutic gap (a euphemism for the absence of therapy), the emotional involvement of the family, the relationship between the benefit to be gained and the economic/social costs, and so on. Could you indicate three fundamental points that, in your opinion, should direct health service policies on the use of these tests?
14. Genetic QuestionsGenetics applied to medicine involves the concept of patient (the risk refers to a person who is now healthy and does not see himself as asick person) and that of individual (everyone has a genetic stock but, in the meantime, it belongs to the genetic stock of his genetic line).What is the destiny of the old idea of person, who has rights and free choice, on which modern political systems and thought continue to be based?
