Реферат: A Look At The Human Genome Project

should be discriminated against due to these “weaknesses”. I personally feel

that the Human Genome Project is a great undertaking intended for the benefit of mankind.

There are many advances that have been made in treatments as well as the creation of

various machines that automate the process of gene mapping. Machines that may be used to

automate th

e study of other organisms. I just don?t trust the motives behind the insurance

companies who could unduly benefit from such testing. I feel that the individual?s

right to privacy should remain paramount, and that there should be laws set in motion to

prohibit a person from being discriminated against because of genetic predisposition.Bibliography
