Current technology has made what once seemed impossible, mapping the human genome, a reality within the next decade. What began over forty years ago with the discovery of the basic structure of DNA has evolved into the Human Genome Project. This is a fifteen-year, three billion dollar effort to sequence the entire human genetic code. The Project, under the direction of the U.S. National Institute of Health and the department of Energy is ahead

Perhaps it is not accidental that a fifteen to twenty year gap may soon exist between the ability to identify a genetic defect and the ability to correct it. Society needs time to realize that like all power, the advanced and evolving technical power which scientists' posses, must be used with utmost respect and
