The process of "Human Genome Project" being accepted by the public is the scientific popularization of genes by sociologists, ethicists and scientists. The ultimate mystery of mankind revealed by the "Human Genome Project" is bound to have an impact on society, law and ethics. Therefore, the general public must be psychologically prepared.
The formation of the "Human Genome Project" was hesitant and repeated, but in the end, human beings chose it. Historically, there are several viewpoints.
"Gene theory" is the main idea of "Human Genome Project". Not only diseases are related to genes, but also people's birth and growth are related to the sequences of genes and DNA.
Strategically, the "Human Genome Project" adopts "genomics", as Duboko said: Since everyone knows the importance of genes, we have only two choices. One is "piecemeal", where everyone goes to "individual homework" to study their favorite and important genes; Another option is to find out the whole human genome as a whole as never before, and concentrate on finding out all human genes first.
To discuss the goal of the "Human Genome Project", the draft is easy to read. Finally, each part has specific objectives, which require qualitative, quantitative and regular completion.
China's "Human Genome Project" started at 1993 due to the appeal of the first generation of scientists. The first stage of this plan is a "major project" supported by the National Natural Science Foundation. In this project, the advisory committee is composed of famous geneticists, and the academic expert committee is composed of young and middle-aged scientists. There are also the China Human Genome Diversity Committee and the Social, Legal and Ethical Committee, and a small secretariat is responsible for international contacts, domestic coordination and daily affairs.
Humans have only one genome. The research results of human genome should become the common wealth of mankind. The most important feature of the human genome project is "globalization". 1988 April, HUGO (International Human Genome Organization) was established. Hugo represents scientists engaged in human genome research all over the world, aiming at coordinating human genome research on a global scale, and is known as the "United Nations of Human Genome". More than 40 scientists in China have joined this organization.
For the same reason, UNESCO also established the "UNESCO Human Genome Committee" in June 1988+00. From 65438 to 0995, the International Society of Bioethics was established, and Professor Yang was represented by China. The Declaration on Human Genome and Human Rights published by UNESCO has become the "World Declaration" of the Human Genome Project.
