... characteristics of human DNA, information that constitutes the basic set of inherited "instructions" for the development and functioning of the human being. Thus, the human genome project addresses several ethical, legal, and social controversial issues regarding the matter. Logically speaking, the human genome project posses a lot of social benefits for the society. This project will be a great jump in understanding human ... with all the benefits people tend to forget about a lot of things that could hurt our way of life by uncovering this information. Some less serious but still very...

... and then to store this information in databases. A critical part of the Project is to improve tools for data analysis and to transfer related technologies to the private sector. 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...
