Neurotechnology Governance in the United States: Gaps and Opportunities
Neuroscience's accelerating advances have reached a pivotal point in the study of the human brain, including neurotechnologies capable of recording large amounts of data and acting with greater precision. However, the use of neurotechnology has raised a number of ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI). To that end, sufficiently robust policy and governance structures must be considered. To date, no published review of United States polici…
Synthetic Health Data: Real Ethical Promise and Peril
Researchers and practitioners are increasingly using machine‐generated synthetic data as a tool for advancing health science and practice, by expanding access to health data while—potentially—mitigating privacy and related ethical concerns around data sharing. While using synthetic data in this way holds promise, we argue that it also raises significant ethical, legal, and policy concerns, including persistent privacy and security problems, accur…
A genetic imaginary for social justice: The rhetoric of genomic medicine as exceptional, ordinary, and ethical obligation
We interviewed professionals and stakeholders in genomic medicine to understand how they envision their field and argue for its importance. Their rhetoric constitutes a shared “genetic imaginary” where genomic medicine is at once exceptional, ordinary, and an ethical obligation. Genomic medicine is argued by our interviewees to be exceptional by virtue of novel scientific knowledge it offers and the resultant effects on clinical practice; ordinar…
Impacts of personal DNA ancestry testing
Concerning data sharing in biological anthropology
The AAPA ad hoc committee on data access and data sharing, co-chaired by Trudy Turner and Connie Mulligan, deserves recognition for addressing the challenges and opportunities before the field of biological anthropology and for hosting the NSF-funded workshop on this important topic. Unfortunately, the resulting “guiding principles and best practices” (Turner & Mulligan, 2019) published on July 31, 2019 are a disappointment to me, and I worry tha…
Ethics in biological anthropology
Ethics is defined as "moral principles or a system of these," or "moral principles, maxims, precepts or observations concerning these" (Ethics, 2017). For a discipline or a profession, these principles are often articulated in a code of ethics or a code of conduct. These codes express a professional society's understanding of the obligations, strictures and responsibilities of the organization and its members. For an individual, the codes set out…
Anthropologists' views on race, ancestry, and genetics
Controversies over race conceptualizations have been ongoing for centuries and have been shaped, in part, by anthropologists. OBJECTIVE: To assess anthropologists' views on race, genetics, and ancestry. METHODS: In 2012 a broad national survey of anthropologists examined prevailing views on race, ancestry, and genetics. RESULTS: Results demonstrate consensus that there are no human biological races and recognition that race exists as lived social…
A Qualitative Analysis of How Anthropologists Interpret the Race Construct
This article assesses anthropological thinking about the race concept and its applications. Drawn from a broader national survey of geneticists' and anthropologists' views on race, in this analysis, we provide a qualitative account of anthropologists' perspectives. We delve deeper than simply asserting that "race is a social construct." Instead, we explore the differential ways in which anthropologists describe and interpret how race is construct…

The Truth about Auschwitz: Prosecuting Auschwitz Crimes with the Help of Survivor Testimony
Based on oral history interviews and autobiographical texts, this article explores how the prosecution at the district court in Frankfurt am Main investigated crimes which had been committed in the largest Nazi concentration and extermination camp. In constructing their case the investigators relied to a large extent on the testimony of survivor witnesses. Previous historians of the first Auschwitz trial have noted that both the provisions of the…
