Neutrosophic Sets in Investigating the Right to Genetic Information: A Study using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and D-OWA
View PDF Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive view of the evolution and ethical implications of genetics, from its historical origins to modern advancements like the Human Genome Project. It emphasizes the importance of genetic information in disease prediction and understanding human diversity while highlighting the need to address associated ethical and privacy issues. It introduces Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) and the Dependent OWA (D-OWA) aggregation operator as innovative tools for analyzing the complex landscape of the Right to Genetic Information (RGI) in an international context, identifying key factors such as legal frameworks, technological advancements, access to health, culture, ethics, and commercial interests. The research reveals that while legal framework and technology are predominant, other factors also play significant roles in managing RGI. The application of D-OWA provides additional insights, confirming that conventional centrality assessments adequately reflect the priorities and influence of factors in RGI. It concludes by underlining the need for specific strategies to address these challenges, such as strengthening the legal framework, promoting ethics in genetics, improving public education, and respecting cultural diversity, to protect individual rights while leveraging the benefits of genetics for society.
