Family History Today: DNA and the Golden Rule - The Law and Ethics of Genetic Genealogy
Center for Jewish History
New York, NY
Share this event:


Whose permission is needed to test a child or an adult unable to consent? Who owns our DNA? What can we disclose about a cousin who has tested? The rules of the road for the ethical challenges facing genealogists interested in using DNA evidence as part of their family history research. Learn how applying the Golden Rule can guide us through many if not most of the situations in which we as genetic genealogists find ourselves.
