Diagnosis and prevention of human genetic disease.



Classification and conservation of genetic information.



Molecular biology and intellectual property rights.



Stem cell research.



Tissue transplantation.



Genetic modification of organisms.



Transformation and genetic manipulation of the human embryo.



Gene therapy.
