摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the scientific and ethical implications of human genome project. From applications gene cloning techniques so successfully pursued by biotechnology industry to mapping characterization genes for many diseases, these accomplishments have emphasized importance in life health. The focuses on three aspects this increasing belief power determining behavior. first is emphasize significant social impact that reports behavior genetic studies can have. Second, cover some problematic current research into genetics Finally, how discordance between public impressions science actual state be reconciled. described a picture emerging complexity expression disease it explains difficulties being encountered attempts find associated with various behaviors.
