When i first read an article in the early 1990's about the Human Genome Project in the US, it never occured to me that during my lifetime i will witness the deployment of technologies that would read the human DNA. After two decades, Life Technologies, a US biotechnology company has announced the first machine that can read all 3bn letters of an individual’s DNA for as little as $1,000 – a development that will greatly accelerate medical treatment tailored to a patient’s genes. But this also raises ethical questions.
