Social and psychological issues associated with the new genetics.

Abstract

This paper discusses two prevailing views--optimistic and pessimistic--about the potential benefits and risks arising from developments in human genetics and argues that we do not yet have enough evidence to assess which elements (if any) of either view are likely to be correct.
