According to Mr Johnston, the findings from the Human Genome Research Project were “ground breaking for New Zealand and potentially will touch the lives of every New Zealander”. 

“The research is an important step towards ensuring New Zealand’s law is well-positioned to meet the legal and ethical challenges arising from gene biotechnology.”
