TY - JOUR AU - Koplin, Julian J. AU - Savulescu, Julian AU - Vears, Danya F. PY - 2020 DA - 2020/01/31 TI - Why genomics researchers are sometimes morally required to hunt for secondary findings JO - BMC Medical Ethics SP - 11 VL - 21 IS - 1 AB - Genomic research can reveal ‘unsolicited’ or ‘incidental’ findings that are of potential health or reproductive significance to participants. It is widely thought that researchers have a moral obligation, grounded in the duty of easy rescue, to return certain kinds of unsolicited findings to research participants. It is less widely thought that researchers have a moral obligation to actively look for health-related findings (for example, by conducting additional analyses to search for findings outside the scope of the research question).
