Interestingly, the report points to the shelving of a similar identityproject in the UK because of the huge costs, unreliable and untested technology and the risks to the safety and security of citizens.
The Human Genome Project he helped to launch decades later is an ambitious project to discover the identity and order of every one of the three billion or so key components of the double helix.
The studies carried out under the Project have shown that identity, seen from a long-term perspective, cannot be viewed as a ghetto or an enclosure, but as the result of whole process of synthesis and encounter between peoples and cultures.
