Biology
Benefits:
It provides an extremely detailed map of the entire human genome which elucidates the genetic basis of diseases, hence allowing for the early detection of genetic diseases and improved diagnosis. The project enables novel molecular treatment such as gene therapy to be devised to cure genetic diseases.
Ethical Concerns:
It may detect genetic diseases early thus causing those affected to feel like social outcasts.
Employers and insurance agents may abuse the information, hiring workers based on genetic predisposition.

KEY TERMS:The haplotype is the particular combination of alleles in a defined region of some chromosome, in effect the genotype in miniature. Originally used to described combinations of MHC alleles, it now may be used to describe particular combinations...
