With the joint announcements by Celera Genomics and the Human Genome Project on the status of both efforts in sequencing the human genome, the debates intensify around such issues as: free access vs. access for pay, patenting genes, discrimination by employers and health insurance providers based on genetic information, and the future of gene therapy.
