A map to a new treasure island: the human genome and the concept of common heritage.

While the 1970's have been called the environmental years, the 1990's could be seen as the genome years. As the challenge to map and to sequence the human genome mobilized the scientific community, risks and benefits of information and uses that would derive from this project have also raised ethical issues at the international level. The particular interest of the 1997 UNESCO Declaration relies on the fact that it emphasizes both the scientific importance of genetics and the appropriate reinforcement of human rights in this area. It considers the human genome, at least symbolically, as the common heritage of humanity.

Should ethical concerns regulate science? The European experience with the human genome project: a report from Denmark.

... The allocation of resources can indirectly control science by defining areas undesirable for research from the point of view of society. In the United States federal funds are not available for research on human embryos. The European experience represents a new approach to control of scientific research. The project is neither prohibited nor accepted in accordance with certain ethical rules, but is followed throughout the project. This new approach originates from the complexity of the human genome project and its unpredictable consequences for man.
