Human Genetics Commission



The HGC is the UK Government's advisory body on new developments in human genetics and how they impact on individual lives.

They advise the Government on human genetics with a particular focus on the social, ethical and legal issues.

One of their key roles is to promote debate and to listen to what the public have to say. They are throughly committed to openness and transparency.

Questions and discussion topics marked with their logo have been chosen by the HGC and we will be sharing your responses with them.

They are keen to know your views on these controversial issues in order to help them advise the government on future legislation and the impact of developments in genomics on individuals.
