The human genome project began in 1990 as a large-scale global effort to map the entire human genome. It was completed in 2003, two years ahead of schedule, at a cost of over $3 billion in public funding. The project raised important ethical issues regarding topics like biosafety, animal rights, biotechnology, genetic screening, and discrimination. While genetic screening allows for early detection of diseases and more informed medical decisions, it also risks stigmatization and potential misuse of genetic data by insurance companies.

2. History of the human genome project Begun in 1990 It was a large-scale global project, that involved research teams in 20 different countries, allocated over US$ 3 billion in public sector funding alone It was completed in the year 2003 which was two years earlier than predicted.

4. The bioethics principles are based on: loving oneself, to love life, justice and do good.

5. Three major ways of viewing Bioethics: Descriptive bioethics: the way peopole analyze life as affecting their responsibilities and moral actions. Perspective bioethics: telling people what is acceptable and unacceptable and the rights of others. Interactive bioethics: the debate and discussions involving people, societal groups and communities.

9. Social Implications Screening for genetic diseases Genetic matching Stigmatization Insurance companies

11. Hemophilia

12. Cystic Fibrosis

13. DMD

15. Genetic Screening Better choices for medicine prescriptions - Allows Doctors to make better decisions when considering what medication to prescribe to patients. Have had a great influence on diseases like Hemophilia and different kinds of cancers

16. Couple Screening Premarital screening partners may have a genetic makeup that allows for diseases when combined Before deciding to have a baby, parents can know which of their genes might be passed on to the child

17. Good or Bad? Finding an untreatable disease can lead to an unhappy and hopeless life. Life is put on hold just waiting for the symptoms of a disease that might never develop.

18. The Other Side of the Project:Discrimination Stigmatization Who should have access to your genetic information? - How does personal genetic information affect an individual and society's perceptions of that individual? Insurance Companies Genetic information denying rights of health and life insurance.
