• Resumen

  • The author reflects on the Human Genome Project and on the relationship between genomics and the nature of behavioral and social risk. He suggests that the project is providing medical professionals with information on the factors that are featured in behavioral and social risk for disease. He argues that while concerns about the project must be addressed, the project will provide payoffs in terms of the prevention of diseases.
