This is an important book. It provides a comprehensive and cogent exposition of the intersection between law, medicine and genetics at a critical time in Kenya’s history – a time when we are focused on interpreting and implementing the expansive provisions within the Constitution of Kenya 2010; a time when we are committed to operationalizing relevant legislation such as the Human Tissues Act Revised Edition 2012, the Biosafety Act 2009 and the HIV and AIDS Prevention and Control Act 2006. Clearly, those who want to be better acquainted with the nexus between human rights, bioethics, medical research and genetic manipulation will find great value in this work.
