I agree, but I think this is why we should limit the number of children a single donor can father.

I'm not worried about not having enough (sperm) donors. I think it's just a matter of paying more.

As far as I know, in the UK it is illegal to select embryos based on genetic data except for a list of conditions prespecified by the HFEA (the regulatory body for assisted reproduction).
Whether this is enforceable is of course another question.

This comment made me wonder: what kinds of cases or research goals/questions would geneticists generally consider scientifically useful/interesting/valid when it comes to looking at the genomes of long-dead famous people?

By the way, how is it possible to watch the actual documentary? (Outside the UK)

I'm not generally against sequencing "named" individuals. E.g. Work on Beethoven's genome has been reasonable and interesting.

This particular case is shameful because the underlying narrative is that the Holocaust and other horrors could be explained by a bad gene.

Right. Also, the distribution of any PRS in Austrians may differ from that of Danes.

But these details (which may appear in a future publication) are technical. Doing this project and analysis in the first place is much more disturbing.

3. From what's been reported so far, it seems that the important values of engagement with the community/victims/their descendants unfortunately don't apply to all human populations.

I generally agree, although the lead researcher in this case is usually reliable.

Overall, nothing new or entirely unexpected, but I think evidence is starting to mount that PRS are not too clinically useful the way they are currently marketed by researchers and companies.
