Genetics' dreams in the post genomics era.

Maurizio Salvi1.   

Abstract

In this paper I explore the heuristic limits of human genetics, in particular the claim that it is possible to manipulate human germ cells in a pre-ordinate way (Gordon, 1999). I argue that this claim is unrealistic based on genetic reductionism and a wrong concept of genetic diseases.
