Ethics and Policies in Human Genetics address the moral, legal, and social concerns arising from genetic research and its applications. As genetic discoveries offer a deeper understanding of human biology, they also pose ethical dilemmas regarding privacy, consent, and the risk of discrimination. Topics like genetic testing, gene editing, and the use of genetic data in healthcare require thoughtful consideration of how to balance scientific advancements with individual rights and societal values. For instance, while genetic testing can provide valuable information about disease risk, it may also raise privacy concerns and the possibility of discrimination in areas such as employment and insurance. Likewise, gene-editing technologies like CRISPR spark ethical debates about altering human embryos and the potential long-term effects of such modifications. Establishing policies in human genetics is crucial to regulate these practices, ensuring that genetic research and its applications are carried out responsibly, with respect for human dignity, fairness, and equality.
