What are some disadvantages of the Human Genome Project?

Disadvantages of the Human Genome Project, or HGP, include the number of risks involved in the procedures and discrimination against specific traits. This project also poses morality issues for everyone receiving the treatment.

Another disadvantage to the HGP is the possibility of it being used as a type of racial discrimination
