Reprogenetic technologies offer gene selection for children, raising ethical concerns. Economic analysis reveals herd behavior in trait selection, suggesting coordinated decisions can improve societal outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Reproductive Technology
  • Behavioral Economics

Background:

  • Gene selection technologies are advancing, potentially leading to a market for reprogenetic enhancements.
  • Reprogenetics integrates reproductive biology and genetics, granting greater control over offspring traits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the economic, ethical, legal, and social implications of reprogenetic trait selection.
  • To analyze herd behavior and its impact on genetic trait choices in a biotechnological society.

Main Methods:

  • Economic perspectives and game-theoretic models are used to analyze parental choices.
  • Two competitive games model herd behavior driven by popularity or positional competition.

Main Results:

  • Multiple equilibrium outcomes exist for individual reprogenetic choices and beliefs.
  • Herd behavior, driven by social dynamics, significantly influences trait selection.

Conclusions:

  • Societal efficiency can be achieved through coordinated reprogenetic decisions.
  • Interventions by the state or private entities can guide parental beliefs and choices for optimal outcomes.
