Timeslot:Fri 04:00 pm (90 minutes)
Location:ACC / 210-B
Description:What are the ethical problems of the Human Genome Project? Are we playing God when we fool around with genes and chromosomes? Can a world of all blonde and blue-eyed children be far behind? When we can work miracles on the molecular level, will the people in areas we can "correct" be discriminated against?
