Should all our genetic information be made public in order to eradicate genetic diseases from this world? Who owns your genetic data once it becomes publicly accessible? What is your responsibility to family members when you know more about genetic diseases than they do? Who decides what kind of genetic information is relevant to a person? And what does genetic privacy mean to you?

Join the debate to discuss whether we should make our genetic information public to eradicate genetic diseases! Robert Zwijnenberg, Professor of Art and Science Interactions at Leiden is the lead professor in this online course on genetic privacy, where issues surrounding the sharing of genetic data are discussed.
