Hello. I am following this discussion (from New Zealand!) with great interest, and found Dr. Tasmuth's article very thoughtful. I have a paper coming out soon that follows on an earlier publication/presentation on the Estonian Genome Project. This work on the politics of identity as played out through science policy focused on how proponents of the EGP positioned it in the media and to international organisations/potential investors. I intend to pursue this subject further, but would also now like to correspond with those who take a more critical perspective on genetic ownership, and/or the EGP and other gene bank projects in the Nordic states. Please feel free to contact me on this specific research topic at: Amy Fletcher amy.fletcher@canterbury.ac.nz

In the section Scientific myth I wrote about the personal gene card that the leaders of the Estonian Gene Bank Project (EGBP) had promised to give to the potential participants. The attitude of the population with regard to the participation in the EGBP, however, is not easy to determine exactly. There are until now only two investigations on the subject and the results of them vary considerably. First of them is made by Emor. Emor, the largest full service marketing research and consulting company in Estonia, has made an investigation in order to establish the level of awareness of the EGBP and to describe the opinions of the Estonian population with regard to the project. Emor asked 500 citizens of Estonia, and according to the result of this study, 65% of them were well-informed about the project. Read the rest of this post...
