The Future of Public Health: The Ethical Implications of Polygenic Scores
About this Event
Polygenic scores (PGS) have the potential to revolutionize public health by predicting disease risk and social traits based on genetics. However, they also raise significant ethical concerns, such as the possibility of exacerbating health justice, fostering genetic discrimination, and promoting biological determinism. It is crucial to address these ethical challenges to ensure that genetic advancements are accessible and beneficial for everyone. As PGS becomes more prevalent, policymakers, researchers, and healthcare providers must prioritize privacy and justice. The decisions made today will determine whether PGS helps reduce disparities or serves only the privileged. .
