What Are the Ethical Considerations in Neurogenetics?
Neurogenetics raises several ethical issues, including:
Privacy and confidentiality of genetic information. Potential discrimination based on genetic predisposition to neurological diseases. The psychological impact of knowing one's genetic risk for incurable conditions. Informed consent for genetic testing and participation in research studies.
Addressing these ethical considerations is crucial to ensure that the benefits of neurogenetics are realized while minimizing potential harms.
