What are the legal, ethical, moral, and social concerns of the Human Genome Project?

     ILLUMINATI [illuminetai; illuminati], a name given by the Ante-Nicene Church Fathers to those who submitted to Christian baptism (Greek; phi omega tau os) illumination.  They were called, Illuminati (phi omega tau o‚ s), or‚ illuminated ones,on the assumption that those who were instructed for baptism in the Apostolic faith had received the grace of illumination in an enlightened understanding.
     Clement of Alexandria speaks thus of such baptismal light: This is the one grace of illumination, that our characters are not the same as before our washing.  And since knowledge springs up with illumination, shedding its beams around the mind, the moment we hear, we who were untaught become disciples. . . . This work is called . . . illumination by which that holy light of salvation is beheld, that is, by which we see God clearly.
     Among the societies subsequently adopting the name illuminati‚ were the Alumbrados or Alombrados, a mystical sect existing in Spain from the early sixteenth century and appearing in France as the Guerinets during that period.
     Illuminati is also the name of a secret society founded by Adam Weishaupt, professor of canon law at Ingolstadt, on May 1, 1776, with the aim of combating religion and fostering rationalism.

     The science of eugenics consists of a foundation of biology and a
superstructure of sociology. Galton, its founder, emphasized both parts
in due proportion. Until recently, however, most sociologists have been either indifferent or hostile to eugenics, and the science has been left for the most part in the hands of biologists, who have naturally worked most on the foundations and neglected the superstructure.

     The project's intentionally oblique CIA cryptonym is made up of the digraph MK, meaning that the project was sponsored by the agency's Technical Services Division, followed by the word ULTRA (which had previously been used to designate the most secret classification of World War II intelligence). Other related cryptonyms include MKNAOMI and MKDELTA.
     A precursor of the MKULTRA program began in 1945 when the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency was established and given direct responsibility for Operation Paperclip. Operation Paperclip was a program to recruit former Nazi scientists. Some of these scientists studied torture and brainwashing, and several had just been identified and prosecuted as war criminals during the Nuremberg Trials.
