Failure to consider lessons from behavioral economics in the case of whole genome sequencing may cause us to run into the 'last mile problem' - the failure to integrate newly developed technology, on which billions of dollars have been invested, into society in a way that improves human behavior and decision-making.
在全基因组测序的情况下,如果不考虑行为经济学的经验教训,可能会使我们陷入“最后一英里问题”——无法将投入了数十亿美元研发的新技术以改善人类行为和决策的方式融入社会。
