Abstract

For 35 years, the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) Research Program has addressed the societal implications of genomic research. However, its policy impact remains controversial. Here, we propose practical approaches for enhancing its policy impact by leveraging sociological studies on technology and critical arguments raised by ELSI scholars themselves.
