Whose life is it anyway? privacy and patenting the genome

Abstract

A small part of the budget of the Human Genome Project was reserved for the study of the social, legal and ethical questions raised by personal genetic profiles. Answers may be slow in coming, but around the world public concern increasingly drives the legislative agenda. There is now a pressing need to agree international standards on this most inalienable of human rights.
