YORK, ME USA -- HEALTHCARE UPDATE NEWS SERVICE (TM) -- JANUARY 27, 2006: Rapid progress has been made in information-based medicine and genetic science since the human genome was first decoded five years ago. As a natural consequence, significant questions have been raised on the use of individually identifiable genetic and other health and personal medical information.
