. InDecember 1999, the first human chromosome, chromosome 22, was sequenced. This is the location of defects that can cause DiGeorge syndrome, chronic myeloid leukemia, and neu- rofibromatosis. It is also the final autosome in the human sequence as outlined by the National Institutes of Health Human Genome Report in 2003 (Collins et al., 2003). . Though the outcome of the Human Genome Project itself is not ethically problematic, the use of the data generated presents major ethical questions that must be addressed.

The future, then, presents the challenges of addressing the project’s implications (Blackburn, 2012; Larsson, 2001). B. Ethical, legal, and social issues program. ule Study is now under way on the ethical, legal, and social issues related to increasingly rapid progress in the field of human genetics. Four areas were identified for initial emphasis: pri- vacy of genetic information, safe and effective introduction of genetic information in the clin- ical setting, fairness in the use of genetic information, and professional and public education. . The program also emphasizes the importance of understanding the cultural, ethnic, social, and psychological influences that must inform policy development and service delivery issues.

. With time, these issues must be addressed to ensure that the maximal benefit is gained from the project (Blackburn, 2012; Larsson, 2001). A.
