Arguments supporting and opposing the research carried out in the Human Genome Project. The Human Genome project is an international research effort to characterise the genomes of human and selected model organisms through complete mapping and sequencing of their DNA. This massive research project has key aims that include the development of technologies for genomic analysis, to examine the ethical, legal and social implications of human genetics research, and to train scientists who will be able to utilise the tools and resources developed through the human genome project and ultimately to pursue biological studies that will improve human health. In more detail the Human Genome project is designed to construct detailed genetic and physical maps of the human genome, to determine the complete nucleotide sequence of human DNA, to localise the estimated 50,000 to 100,000 genes within the human genome, and to perform similar analysis on the genomes of several other organisms....
