The field of behavioral genetics has engendered a host of moral and social concerns virtually since its inception. The policy implications of a genetic basis for behaviors are widespread and extend beyond the clinic to the socially important realms of education, criminal justice, childbearing, and child rearing. The development of new techniques and analytic approaches, including whole-genome sequencing, noninvasive prenatal genetic testing, and optogenetics, has clearly changed the study of behavioral genetics. However, the social context of biomedical research has also changed profoundly over the past few decades, and in ways that are especially relevant to behavioral genetics. The ever-widening scope of behavioral genetics raises ethical, legal, social, and policy issues in the potential new applications to criminal justice, education, the military, and reproduction. These issues are especially critical to address because of their potentially disproportionate effects on vulnerable populations such as children, the unborn, and the incarcerated.

行为遗传学的伦理、法律、社会和政策影响。

自成立以来,行为遗传学领域实际上已经引起了许多道德和社会问题。行为的遗传基础对政策的影响是广泛的,并从诊所延伸到教育、刑事司法、生育和育儿等具有重要社会意义的领域。新技术和分析方法的发展,包括全基因组测序、无创产前基因检测和光遗传学,明显改变了行为遗传学的研究。然而,生物医学研究的社会背景在过去几十年中也发生了深刻的变化,尤其是与行为遗传学相关的方式。行为遗传学的范围不断扩大,在刑事司法、教育、军事和繁殖。这些问题尤其需要解决,因为它们可能会对儿童、胎儿和被监禁者等弱势群体产生不成比例的影响。
