Abstract
Privacy has been understood as a bioethical concept whose focus is on personal choosing or the right to control access to self. In nursing, privacy concerns abound where there is potential for the violation of human dignity as scientific advancements in genetic biotechnology potentially disclose personal information and genetic structures are made known to others without the consent of persons whose genetic material is being utilized for biological experimentation. In this article, the author offers new insights into the concept of privacy and human dignity as gene editing and its possible consequences unfurl within the scientific and healthcare arenas. A humanbecoming ethos perspective for nursing is illuminated.
