Despite broad scientific consensus on the heritability of intelligence, accurately linking specific genes to traits like IQ remains a complex challenge with many uncertainties.
Heliospect's proposed service suggests parents can select embryos with desirable traits through IVF, a practice that raises ethical concerns about genetic enhancement and inequality.
Complex traits like IQ result from numerous genes' subtle contributions, detectable only through large genetic databases, underscoring the significance of polygenic scores in prediction.
The impact of environmental factors such as healthcare access and education can be as significant as genetic influences, highlighting the multifaceted nature of intelligence.
