Main Results:

  • Genomic research requires international collaboration and adherence to human rights.
  • Public trust is contingent on transparent governance and oversight.
  • Characterizing genomic data as a public resource presents challenges but may offset an overemphasis on individual rights.

Conclusions:

  • A just and solidaristic approach is crucial for fostering human dignity and well-being in genomics.
  • Balancing individual rights with the public good is essential for responsible genomic research.
  • Global cooperation and ethical stewardship are paramount in the field of genomics.
