Now, thanks to the Human Genome Project, a multibillion-dollar international effort headed by the U.S. government, the entire genetic code of a human being is expected to be mapped out and posted on the Internet by 2003. Corporate competitors are racing to discover the code of human life even sooner. The Project is considered the most significant scientific effort attempted by humans. This seminar group will act as a Presidential Commission charged with investigating such questions to make policy recommendations.

No group is exempt.
