Virtual Exhibit
The completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 and subsequent boom in the genomics field has had a profound impact not just on biology and medicine but also on ethics and society. The project also changed traditional understandings of how and why scientific research is conducted. It was, however, not without its detractors. Early in 1990, there was an effort to stop funding for the nascent Human Genome Project, in the form of a letter writing campaign.
