In its 2002 report on the ethical context of behavioural genetics the Nuffield Council on Bioethics concentrated on the genetics of variation within the normal range for behavioural dispositions. The report discusses the historical context of this work and looks at some current work in the fields of IQ, antisocial behaviour and sexuality. It then addresses the ethical implications of this work, both for our understanding of ourselves and in relation to possible applications in areas such as assisted reproduction and the law.
在其2002年关于行为遗传学伦理背景的报告中，纳菲尔德生物伦理委员会专注于行为倾向正常范围内变异的遗传学。该报告讨论了这项工作的历史背景，并审视了智商、反社会行为和性行为领域的一些当前研究。然后，它探讨了这项工作的伦理意义，既涉及我们对自身的理解，也涉及在辅助生殖和法律等领域可能的应用。
