Life

Andrews is an internationally recognized expert in biotechnology. Her landmark litigation over reproductive and genetic technologies and the disposition of frozen embryos led the National Law Journal to list her as one of the "100 Most Influential Lawyers in America." She was named "Newsmaker of the Year" in the January 2008 issue of the ABA Journal . The ABA Journal saw Andrews as “a lawyer with a literary, scientific knack who rivals any CSI investigator” and “a genetics expert of international repute, whose influence on the legal ethics surrounding genetics is not on the limit stop is ".

Andrews has also helped set up guidelines for genetic technologies . She has served as an adviser on genetic and reproductive technologies to the United States Congress , World Health Organization , National Institutes of Health , Centers for Disease Control , United States Department of Health and Human Services , Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences , and several foreign nations, including the Emirate of Dubai and the French National Assembly . She chaired the U.S. Federal Working Group on the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of the Human Genome Project . She was also an advisor to the science ministers of twelve different countries on issues such as handling embryonic stem cells, genetic patents and DNA banking.

Andrews is the author of fourteen books and more than a hundred scientific articles, monographs and book chapters, covering topics of informal consent, medical genetics and health policy. She is co-author of the Law School textbook Genetics: Ethics, Law and Policy , with Mark Rothstein and Maxwell Mehlman . In June 2002 she received the Health Law Teachers Award from the Health Law Teachers Section of the American Society of Law, Medicine and Ethics. In March 2005 she was made an honorary member of the American College of Legal Medicine.

In her non-fiction book The Clone Age , published in 2000, Andrews offered a very critical view of the motives and methods of a new generation of biologists. In particular, she expressed concern about the role of venture capitalists in medical research and what she saw as a technology race ahead of the finalization of legal and ethical principles.

In Body Bazaar: The Market for Human Tissue in the Biotechnology Age , Andrews and sociologist Dorothy Nelkin discussed the psychological, social, and financial implications of commercializing human tissue. Future Perfect: Confronting Decisions About Genetics provides an overview of the rule models and guidelines Andrews recommended for examining how to deal with them in an age of increasing knowledge of the human genome.

In her book, I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did: Social Networks and the Death of Privacy , she explained how individual rights are violated and recommended guidelines such as a universal constitution for social networks and the Internet.

Andrews is also the author of a number of three mystery crime novels to date about the female geneticist, pathologist, and lawyer Dr. Alexandra Blake . The second volume in the series, The Silent Assassin (German title: Up to the Bones ), is about a skull that GIs brought home as a trophy from the Vietnam War . The reason for this was that this actually happened in a similar way. To this day, six trophy skulls are still stored in the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Washington, DC On June 22, 2007, Andrews published a guest commentary in the New York Times in which she asked then US President George W. Bush to to return the skulls in view of the visit of Vietnamese President Nguyễn Minh Triết to the White House .

The third part, published by Andrews in September 2008, deals with the experiment of doctor Dr. Blake , working with a DEA agent to stop an epidemic in the southwestern United States.

A frequent guest on shows like Nightline , 60 Minutes , CBS Morning News , Oprah, and various other programs, Andrews is often interviewed about bioethics. The documentary film Frozen Angels (directed and written by Frauke Sandig and Erik Black), which describes their work, premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival .
