Despite its potential, precision medicine also presents several challenges and ethical concerns:
Privacy: The collection and storage of genetic information raise concerns about data privacy and the potential for misuse. Accessibility: Precision medicine is often expensive and may not be accessible to everyone, leading to disparities in healthcare. Regulation: The rapid pace of advancements in biotechnology makes it difficult for regulatory bodies to keep up, potentially leading to unapproved or unsafe treatments. Ethical Issues: The ability to predict genetic predispositions to diseases raises questions about genetic discrimination and the psychological impact on individuals.
