Societal and medical consequences of the Human Genome Project. Inter-disciplinary approaches to human genetics.
The Human Genome Project is a US-based molecular biological project, the results of which are likely to be implemented on humans. The sociopolitical dimension of this is highly neglected. The aim of the conference was to fill this gap by drawing together scientists of natural and political sciences to discuss the consequences of the Human Genome Project across the disciplines.
