Advancements in the science of genetics develop at unprecedented rates. Genetic information is generated quicker than legal and social systems can respond. Developments in the engineering façade contributed nano-equipments working at expeditious speeds. Upspring of new technologies enabling far-crying discoveries made in biological science allowed scientists to manipulate living cells and obtain genetic information that were once inviolable. Consequently, it leads to new scientific and social mechanisms that affect human life everlastingly.
“ELSI” is the acronym for ethical, legal and social issues, one of the world’s largest bioethics program, led by the 13-year long Human Genome Project (HGP) coordinated by the U.S Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. The excitement is in the exploration of mystical genetics that were never trod on. Genetic information becomes abused by employers, insurers, as well as the public when tests become simpler to administer and......
