As research focused on personalized medicine has developed over the past decade, bioethics scholars have contemplated the ethical, legal and social implications of this type of research. In the next decade, there will be a need to broaden the focus of this work as personalized medicine moves into clinical settings. We consider two broad issues that will grow in importance and urgency. First, we analyze the consequences of the significant increase in health information that will be brought about by personalized medicine. Second, we raise concerns about the potential of personalized medicine to exacerbate existing disparities in healthcare.
在过去十年中，随着聚焦于个性化医疗的研究不断发展，生物伦理学者一直在思考这类研究的伦理、法律和社会影响。在接下来的十年里，随着个性化医疗进入临床环境，有必要拓宽这项工作的重点。我们考虑两个将变得更加重要和紧迫的广泛问题。首先，我们分析个性化医疗将带来的健康信息大幅增加的后果。其次，我们对个性化医疗加剧现有医疗保健差距的可能性表示担忧。
