At a joint DOE and International Commission on Protection against Environmental Mutagens and Carcinogens (ICPAEMC) in 1984, the question was asked, "Can we, and should we, sequence the human genome?" After ... of disease at their molecular foundations in their earliest stages. Gene therapy will soon be "fixing" genetic errors before they result in disease.

In doing so the coordinators of the Human Genome project must address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project. The first working draft of the human genome ... studies of human diseases, experimental organisms (such as bacteria, yeast, worms, flies, and mice); development of new technologies for biological and medical research; computational methods to analyze genomes; and eth...
