Now, less than 5 years after "Dolly" was cloned,
perhaps the greatest scientific achievement of our lifetimes
has occurred and its impact could be revolutionary or frightening.
The Human Genome Project has mapped every gene in the body
and advocates and opponents now embark on a journey where
truly no man has ever gone before. In his program, Jeff covers
both sides of the issue, explaining the upside and the dark
side of this phenomenal accomplishment.
Topics:
1. The Human Genome Project: Progress or Peril?
