उत्तर
Within the Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (ELSI) framework of the Human Genome Project, discrimination risk is recognized as a critical concern. The misuse of genome data could enable employers, insurers, or others to discriminate against individuals based on genetic predisposition to diseases or genetic characteristics. This risk necessitates strong privacy protections and regulations governing how genetic information can be used and shared.
