abstract="This article provides a summary of our ethical concerns regarding the so-called &quot;warrior gene&quot; line of research. Prompted by recent claims that there is a genetic explanation for negative social and health statistics for Māori, the article discusses issues related to informed consent of research participants, the validity of the underlying science related to the &quot;warrior gene&quot;, and scientifically unfounded speculation regarding the causality of complex social issues. We conclude that in all science, and particularly where there is a highly charged social and political setting, the scientist has a responsibility for the way in which findings are disseminated and for ensuring a clear public understanding of the limitations of the work.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
