Titel: How did we come to collaborate?
Beschreibung: "The Human Genome Project (HGP) is commonly known as a paradigmatic example of a scientific research programme in which ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) have been made an integral part. Hence, sociological reflexion is not only dealing with genome research as a research object, but it is organisationally integrated within it and also funded by the same client (Yesley, 2008:4). With my paper, I would like to evoke the historical circumstances in which the specific ELSI arrangement was introduced that later became a model for many national genome research programmes. For this purpose it is necessary to carefully examine incidents in the run-up to the HGP. Already in 1985 renowned scientists started to discuss the HGP (Cook-Deegan, 1994). In order to promote the enterprise to map and sequence the entire human Genome, in April 1988 the so called “Human Genome Organisation” (HUGO) was founded (McKusick, 1989). Only six month later, James Watson – co-discoverer of the DNA-structure and founding member of HUGO – was appointed to head the HGP. It was Watson who announced during a press conference on the occasion of his appointment that 3% to 5% of the HGP funding would be devoted to ELSI (Marshall, 1996). But what prompted Watson to waive approximately 100 million US$?
