Episode Details

Inequity—Epigenetics is distinguished from “sin” (missing the mark) and “transgression” (crossing a boundary) by emphasizing a corrupt or twisted inner condition that leads to outward acts of lawlessness and rebellion. Epigenetics connects biological processes with ethical and gene expression related to behavior and how these influences can be inherited, shaping individual and societal ethical traits over time The intersection also prompts reflection on moral responsibility in light of epigenetic inheritance.
