What Ethical Considerations are Involved in Genetic Research?
Genetic research raises several ethical questions, including:
Privacy: Ensuring that genetic information is kept confidential and used responsibly. Informed Consent: Obtaining voluntary, informed consent from participants in genetic studies. Genetic Discrimination: Preventing discrimination based on genetic information in employment, insurance, and other areas. Gene Editing: Addressing the ethical implications of editing the human genome, particularly concerning germline modifications.
