Findings of a new study published today "Public perceptions of polygenic testing and embryo selection for non-medical traits" in Nature Human Behaviour
This seems kinda facile to me. Of course we act on the information when given it, that’s why we say we don’t want to test for it? If I thought I (and others like me) wouldn’t act on the knowledge, I wouldn’t care whether we tested for those traits or not?
It’s click bait, you’re using rational critical thinking and that’s overrated here.
I would rather have a social network where there’s no click bait but until it happens I won’t spend more than 2 seconds thinking about what the headline means vs what it implies.
