Findings from the Human Genome Project (HGP) suggest that tremendous opportunities exist for increased life expectancies and improved quality of life. The findings also raise enormous concerns about ethical, legal, and psychosocial implications, particularly for underrepresented and vulnerable populations. This article proposes an education model that focuses on genetically informed, ethical practice that will help social worker practitioners and educators play a more effective role as they confront the many implications of genetic and genomic research in the 21st century.
