Despite the many social and ethical considerations in human genetics, researchers and communities remain largely siloed while genomic data on social and behavioral outcomes become more accessible to industry and consumers. The multifaceted challenges facing genomics, both empirical and ethical, require collaborations that foster critical dialogue and honest debate. To enhance social and ethical responsibility and promote scientific rigor in human genetics, it will be necessary to identify and unpack disagreements about the conduct, translation, and interpretation of genetic/genomic research.
