Ethox Seminar - Polygenic Risk Scores and Reproduction: Ethical, Legal and Social Issues
The talk focuses on ethical and legal aspects of the use of polygenic scores in genetic selection. I will outline the possibility of using polygenic scores to select embryos which are healthier and have greater potential for enjoying well-being and behaving morally. I will outline some new data on public acceptability and propose a model for law reform: the harm-based model for regulating genetic selection.
