Abstract

Epigenetics is the study of changes in the activity of genes induced by the environment and not involving modification of the DNA sequence. From the point of view of the human sciences, it invites, by its specific characteristics, to reflect on a variety of questions relating to public policies in a logic of “sustainable health” but also of “sustainable respect” of fundamental rights. But while public policies have a direct impact on fundamental freedoms, other factors also play a decisive role in this regard, accentuating the specificity of genetic data.
