DIAZ CUELLAR, Fe E. et al. Ethical Aspects of the Interaction between Life Sciences and Information Sciences. ACIMED [online]. 2007, vol.15, n.5, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1024-9435.

An analysis is made on the development of information sciences and human genetics in the last decades, as well as the increasing importance of the ethical aspects of this interrelation. The development of genetic engineering and the new information technologies in the late XX century, conditioned the origin of a discipline that generated solid bonds between Informatics and Biologic Sciences: Bioinformatics. The application of genomic knowledge for the benefit of mankind is an inalienable right whose basic principles are: the privacy of genetic information, unbiased action, and equality of opportunities for all citizens with or without favourable genetics, as well as respect to autonomy, among others.
