Fromcheckingoninsurancecoveragetopsychologicalexamstosupportgroups,preparingforthislife-changingproceduretakestime,physicalandmentalreadiness,andmostofall,commitment.

TheCurrentGeneticResearch

Thescienceofgeneticsisaflourishingnewindustry,nourishedinlargepartbythefederallyfundedHumanGenomeProject.Thegoalofthisambitiousresearchendeavoristoidentifyeverygenefoundinthehumanbody,perhaps100,000inall.Severalmonthsago,theU.S.governmentandaprivatecorporationannouncedthattheyhad"completed"the"map"ofthegenome,althoughactuallytherearestillmanygaps.Muchrelatedresearchfocusesongeneticdiagnostics--testsdesignedtoidentifygenesthoughttobeassociatedwithvariousmedicalconditions.Morethan50newgenetictestshavebeenidentifiedinthepastfiveyearsalone.

Theincreasingspeed,sophistication,affordability,andinterconnectivityofcomputersystemsallowtherapidmonitoringandmatchingofmanymillionsofrecords.A1994benchmarkstudybytheACLUfoundthat"concernsaboutpersonalprivacyrundeepamongtheAmericanpeople".

TheTechnologicalSociety

Technologiesarenotvalue-neutral;theyusuallyembodytheperspectives,purposes,andpoliticalobjectivesofpowerfulsocialgroups.ThedominantideologyinWesternsocietyproclaimsthatscienceandtechnologyarevalue-neutral,andtheonlyproblemscausedbytechnologiesareeither"externalities"(unintendedsideeffects)orabuses.However,becausetechnologiesaretheresultofhumaninterventionsintotheotherwisenaturalprogressionofactivities(andnotactsofGodorofnature),theyarethemselvesactuallyimbuedwithhumanintentionsandpurposes.Currenttechnologiesdonotequallybenefitallsegmentsofsociety(andindeedarenotintendedtodoso),althoughtomaximizepublicsupportforthesedevelopmentsandtominimizepotentialopposition,theirproponentsrarelyacknowledgethesedistributionalramifications(分歧).
