From the outset, the ethical, legal, and social
implications of the human genome project have
been an important consideration. About 3% of
the total funding is directed to the ELSI Research
program. ELSI covers a wide range of issues.
These include confidentiality and fairness in the
use of individual genetic information, prevention
of genetic discrimination, use of genetic
methods in clinical diagnostics, public and professional
education, and other related issues.
