The Cultural, Legal, and Scientific Arguments in the Human Genome Diversity Debate

This article provides a rhetorical analysis of some of the cultural, legal, and scientific problems of the controversial Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP). The authors argue that the co-production of social knowledge about diversity genetics created a legitimation crisis for the program, because detractors of the project worried that both the goals and the procedures of the project were racist and exploitive--the latest form of "biopiracy." When the defenders of the HGDP attempted to re-appropriate some of the arguments, they were only partially successful and failed to secure the necessary funding for the project.
