The
John J. Reilly Center for Science, Technology, and Value

at the University of Notre Dame has released its sixth
annual list of emerging ethical dilemmas and policy
issues in science and technology.
Helix - A digital app store designed to help you read your genome.
In July 2017, Helix debuted its online platform, banking on the notion that the
23andMe generation would value a relatively inexpensive, digitized way to
interact with their genome. Founded in 2015, Helix is a hub for genetic
sequencing apps for your computer or mobile device. Helix sequences the
most important part of your genome, the exome. That information is digitized
and stored by Helix, which parcels out pieces of the information to third-party

also helps to avoid any misinformation that had been gathered
about a particular innovation, this helps to avoid false usage. to
know the limitation of technology not to step on the ethical values
in terms of religion or even in the privacy of every person. to help

where ethical values or principles are relevant. In addition,
individuals need reliable knowledge for making informed decisions
and to let the public determine for themselves about the moral and
ethical issues surrounding innovations.

Studying STS helps students develop the knowledge, skills
and effective qualities to take responsible citizenship action
on science and technology oriented issues. Knowing these
knowledge gives you ideas and better understanding over
the issues, you can also get to know the intentions that the
producers are thinking. Knowing that the issue “Helix”
gives society a great opportunity to help understand
ourselves. Helix can help oneself to see predisposition for
certain health conditions, learn about your genes and
traits, discover your ancestry and more
