表观遗传学是科学发现中最重要、最具法律和伦理意义的前沿学科之一。表观遗传学将环境和遗传对个体性状和特征的影响联系起来，新的发现表明，大量的环境、饮食、行为和医疗经历可以显着影响个体及其后代的未来发展和健康。本文描述并分析了这些新科学发现的伦理和法律含义。
Epigenetics is one of the most scientifically important, and legally and ethically significant, cutting-edge subjects of scientific discovery. Epigenetics link environmental and genetic influences on the traits and characteristics of an individual, and new discoveries reveal that a large range of environmental, dietary, behavioral, and medical experiences can significantly affect the future development and health of an individual and their offspring. This article describes and analyzes the ethical and legal implications of these new scientific findings.
