Longevity Science Data Ethics

Meaning

Longevity Science Data Ethics represents the specialized set of moral principles and professional standards guiding the collection, analysis, sharing, and application of complex biological data generated in the pursuit of extended human healthspan and lifespan. This ethical framework is particularly concerned with data derived from advanced diagnostics like telomere length, epigenetic clocks, and comprehensive hormonal profiles. It addresses unique ethical challenges, such as the potential for genetic or biological discrimination based on predicted longevity markers, and the responsible use of data in a field often operating at the intersection of clinical care and personal optimization. The focus is on promoting beneficence and preventing exploitation.
