In conversation with Milton Reynolds of Facing History and Ourselves.


 Since
the initial draft of the human genome in 2000, the increasing speed and
lowering cost of genome sequencing has resulted in a vast increase in
the amount of genetic data being produced.   Whether and to what extent
we own our own genetic information are contested questions that raise
serious issues about how individual privacy can be maintained and
protected. This will be a KPFA video broadcast.  To see this live, visit
