The characterization of the human genome through the mapping and sequencing
of human DNA is giving us new insight into our genetic heritage. This
new genetic knowledge may also enable us to modify the human genome
in order to treat disease or enhance or delete certain human traits.
A number of ethical issues raised by our increased understanding of
the human genome and the application of new genetic technologies will
be addressed. What limits, if any, should we set to our growing genetic
knowledge and technology?
