In their recently published book, 'What We Inherit: How New Technologies and Old Myths Are Shaping Our Genomic Future,' researchers Daphne O. Martschenko and Sam Trejo delve into the growing use of commercial genetic testing. They explore the potential consequences of these advancements on human diversity, primarily focusing on the controversial use of polygenic scores. These scores evaluate numerous genetic factors to predict traits, but critics argue they are imprecise and could exacerbate existing social inequalities. Martschenko raises ethical concerns, stressing that genetic research has historically justified social inequalities rather than mitigating them. Meanwhile, Trejo advocates for more information, seeing potential benefits in better understanding genetic contributions to human behavior. Both authors agree on the need for tighter regulation of genetic testing to prevent misuse. The book discusses the risks associated with reduced genetic diversity through embryo selection, highlighting possible future scenarios where social inequities might evolve into genetic ones. As polygenic embryo selection is already legal in some regions, the authors call for urgent regulatory oversight to ensure equitable use of genetic tools.

The Israeli Knesset is moving forward with a controversial bill that would enable the execution of Palestinians involved in attacks against Israelis. Proposed by national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, this legislation forms part of the coalition agreement with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government formed in late 2022. The bill passed its first reading in November, stipulating execution within 90 days of sentencing with no possibility for appeal, raising significant human rights concerns. Critics argue the legislation violates international law, specifically the provisions for protected populations under the Geneva Conventions. Past allegations of mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention have already drawn international criticism, and this bill further intensifies the debate around human rights in the region. Despite global awareness, calls for stronger international action against this legislative proposal remain largely absent, drawing frustration from advocates for Palestinian rights.
