Building on the previous discussions on genes and epigenetics, I describe ethical discussions in epigenetics. I argue that it is fruitful to adopting a long-term, developmental and dynamic perspective on life. I describe how such a perspective alters the way we think about traditional bioethics discussions such as those on embryo selection and the non-identity problem
