Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ELSI program of the Human Genome Project is focused on ethical, legal, and social issues related to genetics, including protection of personal genetic information, the impact of learning about contributions of genes to behavior, the ethical boundaries for use of genomics and genetic information. However, genetic targets for biological warfare agents is not an area of concern for the ELSI program. The genetic components of ethnicity may be a concern in terms of potential bias or discrimination based on genetic information, but the ELSI program is more broadly focused on the social and ethical implications of genetics for diverse populations.
