Abstract
The Human Genome Project is likely to exacerbate historic tendencies t o balance demographic concerns on the backs of women. This kind of pol icy is unjustified in law and violates classic theories of justice. Re productive decision making, which affects women personally, is not the legitimate domain of community concern or manipulation.
