Professor Martinez J. Hewlett of the University of Arizona describes the moral and theological controversy that the Human Genome Project caused when the sequencing of DNA first began in the 1990s. The first draft of the Human Genome Project was published in "Nature" on February 15, 2001 with the final sequencing mapping completed on April 14, 2003.

Dr. Haynes Robinson discusses how the Human Genome Project (HGP) has changed the medical field. He discusses how the project will help doctors gain information about diseases and get a head start on treating newborns with problems found in their genetics. Robinson is the co-director of Dr. Gary Benfield Regional Fetal Treatment Center of Akron Children’s Hospital. HGP is an international scientific research project with a primary goal of determining the sequence of chemical base pairs which make up human DNA, and of identifying and mapping the total genes of the human genome.

Dr. Francis Collins, former director of the Human Genome Project (HGP), believes that because of the decoding of the human genome, they are now able to analyze and evaluate probable diseases in genes at an earlier and faster rate. He shares a story about discovering a gene linked to a woman's illness, which has been helpful in treating her unique medical problem. HGP is an international scientific research project with a primary goal of determining the sequence of chemical base pairs which make up human DNA–and identifying and mapping the total genes of the human genome.
