Identification of the problem:
The Human Genome Project ranks right up there at the top of the scale of scientific advances. The Human Genome Project is useful in many ways and also can be misused in many ways. The problems of Human Genome Project are -
Very expensive research
Ethical issues
The end results of the possible cure might not available to everyone
Not natural or safe
Who will be allowed access to such abilities
Wrong hands and wrong purposes
Side affects
Discussion:
To research more on Human Genome project, there need more fund as because it is very expensive project. Because of global economic crisis has greatly lessened the ability of most countries to set aside the financial resources to support even small basis research projects, let alone large scale genomics projects. In 1997, the ELSI project received 11 million dollars of the Human genome budget, to study the implications of the Human Genome Project.
To treat persons who are the sources of genetic material for cloning or persons who are created through cloning as mere objects, means or instruments violates the religious principle of human dignity as well as the secular principle of respect for persons. UNESCO drafted a declaration on human rights regarding the Human Genome Project. They want an agreement on ideas such as: The genome shall not give profit to anyone. Risks and benefits should be weighed before any research is begun. Discrimination based on genetics will not be tolerated. Genetic data will be confidential. Results and benefits of the research will have public access; it will not be sold to the highest bidder.
Some argue that if the technology is advanced in order to eradicate some diseases, it will inevitably be used by parents wishing to "enhance" their children, giving them the genes for raven black hair and blue eyes or athletic prowess. It was serious ethical concerns about genetic enhancement that prompted the Council of Europe to adopt the Convention for the
