Genetic justice vs social justice: When ideological conformism hurts the most vulnerable
Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) are powerful tools. They gauge how likely you are to have a given trait based only on genetics, without taking environmental factors into account. With a simple genetic test you can find out to what degree your genes predispose you to diseases like cancer, diabetes, or depression. This information can help you try to prevent or treat these diseases with medication and lifestyle changes.
