What is an ethical problem with this?

[evilblades]

the people fighting the genome project for ethical reasons are like people fighting the car because it can potentially crash into someone.

@LilMayjin

One (potential) ethical problem is that some ins. companies may not want to insure you if they know that you have some serious genetic defects.

I personal support the genome project because I think it would really help more people than hurt them.

i thought the ethical problems were that if someone was payed enough money they would be able to make sure a child looks are certain way . some people think this is playing god. i think the human genome projects it alright, it could really help people.

The problem with scientific advancement isn't the science itself, it's the fact that ALL scientific advancement needs funding. Every scientific advancement rightfully belongs to the people, but in reality will always belong to the corrupt world powers that control the money systems. I don't fight the human genome project, but I'm not a fan of giving the enemy of the people more knowledge and technology either... Just something we all need to think about. This is not a car.

[VegetoStevieD]

Let's face it. Every single one of you fuckers are going to have your genetic profile associated with your rfid chip, and everyone will be segregated, secretly through information laundering... unless we get the power back tot he people, somehow. I don't see that happening anytime soon, which means that all the corrupt uppers who give grants to scientists, will own everything that comes from science. That is why science fails. It is pure, until it needs funding, and it always needs funding.

People may use the fact that someone has a chance of developing a heart problem, and so they cant be allowed a job that pays more but only on a long term basis, if there isnt a cure for a codition someone is likely to develope if the rest of the world discovers this condition they may choose to hinder the career prospects of this person.
