Abstract
To say that I feel greatly honoured to have been asked to participate at this symposium is only half of the truth. The other half is that I have experienced a growing sense of awe at the prospect of imparting to biochemists and biologists this set of socio-educational issues. We have already heard of the great extent to which biological and medical research is intimately intertwined in problems of inborn metabolic errors in humans and how many future advances in the prevention and treatment of handicapping conditions will be based on applications of fundamental information.
