ETHICAL AND LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF GENETIC TESTING

The Program, under a grant from the National Institutes of Health, organized a project on "The Ethical and Legal Implications of Genetic Testing." This project, co-sponsored by the Committee on Scientific Freedom and Responsibility and the National Conference of Lawyers and Scientists, convened three interdisciplinary workshops to facilitate the responsible use of new genetic knowledge and techniques.  For more information, please contact Mark Frankel.
