The term combines design, valuation, and gene, signaling its aim to align technical decisions with social values and ethical norms.
Core ideas include value-sensitive design applied to genetic work, stakeholder engagement, human-centered outcomes, and governance mechanisms
Applications include education, policy discussions, and project planning for synthetic biology experiments, gene therapy research, and
History and status: designvalgene is an emergent term used primarily in interdisciplinary ethics and design studies
Criticism and challenges: interpreting values in technical contexts can be contentious; the term risks vagueness if
