The article I have chosen discusses the delay in great scientific advancements that the Human Genome Project originally sought to achieve due to the great ethical and legal challenges of genomic research. The article concentrates on three factors that have played a role in the setback of the Genome Project. The lack of 'free and open' access to genome data for privacy reasons of research participants, and the overall difficulty of managing the very genomic data sites that the data is being uploaded to (both in terms of how easily one is able to upload data but also how easily one is able to actually obtain data from genomic databases). And finally the lack of diversity of the genomic data being represented in the Human Genome Project, which stems from the long history of mistreatment many communities have experienced at the hands of science and research.
