• Human Genome Project Patenting Indigenous People – The authors explore from both an ethical and an anthropological perspective, the role of indigenous people in the Human Genome Project. They argue that because of their historical position as marginalised people and their exploitation by political and corporate interests, the role of indigenous people in the Project is highly problematic. In their reflections on the Human Genome Project, the authors look further into the ethical and political issues, which include \Qinformed prior consent', protection of indigenous resources and knowledge, and cultural and moral attitudes toward the patenting of life forms.
