Abstract
2001 marked a milestone in the history of science: the HUMAN GENOME PROJECT published a working draft sequence of the human genome. Two years later the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION forecasted that “The international Human Genome Project will rapidly make genetic information available on a worldwide scale previously impossible to imagine. All adults have a right, if they so choose, to know their genetic makeup and implications for the health of their potential offspring, to be educated about their own genetics, and to have the services available to act upon their knowledge”.
