Socio-Economic Implications Of Genetic Testing, Hailey Lane

Student Papers in Local and Global Regional Economies

This paper examines the ecological, sociological, and economic impacts of genetic testing offered commercially by companies like 23andMe. It applies genetic testing to the Veblenian Dichotomy, discusses the application of genetic testing to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and provides commentary on the ethical implications of genetic testing and the impossibility to detract normative and positive approaches from the potential effects of further innovation within genetic testing.
