In reading last weeks article "Understanding the Human Genome Project: a biographical approach" the thing that struck me the most ( in a good way) is the moral dilemma that Sulston is having with the fact he and very few others are on the cutting edge of new technology and information that will explain the human genome and he wants to keep all the information public. So, that all will have access to it instead of all this information going private and only a select few having access to it. This allows the door to a monopoly to be opened and we know what happens next. A few good men get filthy rich and whats wrong with that its the American dream. The problem that I personally see and I do believe Sulston thought the same way and that is knowledge is meant to be shared with everyone and one alike. I just believe Sulston thought less of those who did profit monetarily from the knowledge that they were blessed in discovering. I believe in the case with Collins he had to hurry up and take credit for something that was not complete because he had the Clinton Administration bearing down on them to do so. So the American people would have something to take their eyes off the scandals the Clinton Presidency was wrought with. I think that Collins knew it was a bit premature but he had no choice because he probably received some type of financing of federal money that was tied to the Clinton's Administration and they used this to their advantage to take the public eyes and heat of the Presidency. I could be wrong about this but here we go with politics and the advancement of the technology of biology. It can get real shady real fast! I guess the thing that struck me the most about these two scientist is they both specifically acknowledge the existence of God as they're brink of discovering the sequence of the human gene. I like this because I am a Christian and I do believe in a higher Being that has created us and these brilliant men are on the very edge of discovery and they also have a believe in God. Unlike, Venter who just goes on a sailing trip for his way of discovery!
