Everyone knows that we are living through the beginnings of "The Genetics Revolution," but what does that mean? One meaning is that the consequences of the human genetics research program are broad, uncertain, and confusing--a true revolution and not just a change. Henry Greely provides a structure for thinking about the likely consequences of this research, both for human societies and for the people who live in them. Along the way, he points out some particularly thorny questions before us, from the meaning of "genetic" to the meaning of "human."
