Center for Genome Ethics, Law & Policy (GELP)

As advances in genome sciences continue, the challenge for society will be arriving at a thoughtful consensus on how to make use of the innovations to enhance the well-being of individuals and society, while protecting values such as individual rights and distributive justice. The IGSP Center for Genome Ethics, Law, & Policy (GELP) was created to foster ethically responsible and socially beneficial uses of genome science, while addressing the complex ethical, legal, social and policy impacts of the Genome Revolution.
