Q. Why were laws passed to control the usage of knowledge of human genome?

1. All the above
2. The genome of an individual is considered to be personal property and needs to be protected by law.
3. The knowledge of an individual’s genome could be used to inflict harm.
4. Humans are always prone to exploit any new knowledge to their benefit and often at the cost of the cost of another individual’s harm.

Q. Why were laws passed to control the usage of knowledge of human genome?

1. Humans are always prone to exploit any new knowledge for negative purposes to their benefit.
2. The genome of an individual is considered to be personal property and needs to be protected by law.
