Abstract: (8 Views)
Introduction: Recent advances in epigenetic technologies have introduced new ethical challenges to our understanding of human adaptation and the biological transmission of traits. The level of acceptance of these technologies is not uniform across different cultures and generations; rather, it depends on factors such as social trust, educational attainment, and moral values. This study aims to examine the process of ethical acceptance of epigenetic technologies across diverse cultural contexts.
Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicate that societies characterized by institutional transparency and equal educational opportunities experience a faster and more coherent process of ethical acceptance. In contrast, in low-trust environments or settings marked by educational inequality, the acceptance of these technologies is accompanied by delays or discontinuities. These findings underscore the importance of educational policymaking and transparent governance in addressing the ethical challenges posed by emerging technologies.
