While the research and the success in genetic research and testing has brought up a lot of exciting possibilities as well as great advances and discoveries, it has also raised many ethical issues: Should research institutes profit from our DNA? Should patients be tested for untreatable conditions? How private is a person's genetic information? These issues involve researchers, lawyers, religious groups and even random people who walk the streets.
