*Personal Human Genome @ Harvard Univ* free
Hello all. I seen this on my local news this morning. I thought I would share it. This is a great way to ward off those horrible genetic abnomialies. This is a free study, all they ask is that your info will be shared for the good of mankind. I left my info/registered.

Introducing the Personal Genome Project

Human genome sequencing is opening new doors in medical research, but it has also raised difficult ethical questions, particularly about patient privacy. HMS professor of genetics George Church is keeping such concerns in mind as he pushes forward with the Personal Genome Project (PGP). Church and his colleagues have already sequenced the protein-coding regions of 10 human genomes, and have been given the green light to sequence 100,000 more. Ethicist Jeantine Lunshof, PGP director of community Jason Bobe, and PGP participant John Halamka share their thoughts.
