Abstract
The human genome has always been the source of a great variety in behaviour and reactions ranging from the most cruel nationalistic, racist and other social conflicts to the most innocuous family quarrels. The concept of heredity has justified racial discrimination in its harshest form; the concept of sex division has caused social and legal discrimination between men and women, while some countries even permit sex selection. Sex related family disputes are neither harmless nor without serious consequences.Since the days of Mendel the human genome and its behaviour have been the subject of scientific research.1 Today, by means of gene therapy, it has become the subject of interventions to improve human health and to control the genetic quality and behaviour of the embryo.
