  • Title: Discussing HUGO: the German debate on the ethical implications of the Human Genome Project.
    Author: Boshammer S, Kayss M, Runtenberg C, Ach JS.
    Journal: J Med Philos; 1998 Jun; 23(3):324-33. PubMed ID: 9736194.
    Abstract:
    The current German criticism of HUGO centers around the term 'human dignity'; consenquentialist and autonomy-based arguments are used. The debate culminates in questioning the integrity of bioethics as a scholarly discipline and has created a heterogeneous coalition of disparate political and social groups that oppose any research that would facilitate genetic pre-selection of human characteristics.
