Abstract:
Vulnerability is an inherent and ineradicable reality, and different contexts can exacerbate or induce different manifestations of vulnerability. By sorting out the meaning of vulnerability and identifying particular manifestations and attributions of children’ vulnerability in talent genetic testing situations, including the inherent vulnerability of children themselves, the situational vulnerability derived from talent genetic testing and educational environment, as well as the pathogenic vulnerability from the protection of minors. It was proposed that talent genetic testing of children should be guided by the principles of responsibility, no harm, and permission, so as to protect children from additional harm during testing and avoid exacerbating their vulnerability.
