Progress report on scientific achievements of HGP and consequences for medicine by Francis Collins. Explains how a geneticist finds a specific gene using analogy to photograph. HGP take responsibility for discoveries to be put to good uses. Method for identifying a gene without knowing what it looks like. Debate about whether people should be tested to be Cystic Fibrosis carriers. Justifications for genome project.

Panel discussion (lots of audience participation) - Insurance discrimination and how to deal with it. Does genetic testing impact on getting insurance? Families dealing with diagnosis of genetic defect. Genetic testing of children, dealing with results. Discrimination in the workplace, someone with Marfans syndrome

Panel discussion - How genetic testing should be used; prenatal diagnosis; achondroplasia dwarfism; Sickle Cell Anemia; testing before having children; Breast Cancer; gene testing for breast cancer; fear of discrimination with positive genetic test; Thromocytopenia; TAR syndrome; refusal of genetic testing for families in which genetic disorder exists.

Discussion about how families cope with terminal illness; how physicians handle patients with terminal illnesses

Denise Carroll presents inside look at advances in medical technology to educate the medical community.  Report on osteoperosis, development of diagnostic products and treatments for bone loss; prostate cancer therapy - rapid strand technique; knee replacement for degenerative arthritis, biomechanical design makes knee successful; advertisement for MED 2000 programs
