Genomic studies of social outcomes raise ethical considerations that heighten researcher obligations to responsibly conduct and communicate their work. A study by Akimova et al. finds that most intergenerational transmission of occupational status can be ascribed to nongenetic factors, and raises questions of how such knowledge should be used and how it might be misused.
对社会结果的基因组研究引发了伦理考量,这增加了研究人员以负责任的方式开展和交流其工作的义务。阿基莫娃等人的一项研究发现,职业地位的大多数代际传递可归因于非遗传因素,并引发了关于此类知识应如何使用以及可能如何被滥用的问题。
