Extract

The Profession held a joint seminar on ‘Human Genetics: Uncertainties and the Financial Implications Ahead’ with the Royal Society of London in September 1996. Papers submitted to that seminar included four from the profession and several from the medical, legal, social and scientific communities.

This Sessional Meeting is designed to provide a forum for discussion amongst a wider actuarial audience. The topic is important to the profession, not only in relation to life insurance, but perhaps even more in relation to health insurance. The four papers by the actuarial authors are reproduced, together with a short third party summary of the whole seminar and a more detailed summary by C.D. Daykin of the actuarial, legal and social points raised in the discussions.

The meeting takes the form of a panel discussion. Each of the panellists is to be invited to make introductory comments on their papers to update them where appropriate in the light of developments since September 1996 (for example the ABI statement) and will also suggest specific topics for discussion at the meeting. There is then an opportunity for members and guests to raise and debate all relevant issues.
