Human Genetics Alert (HGA) is an independent, secular watchdog group based in London, UK. We are not opposed to genetic research, and support abortion rights. However, we are opposed to some developments, such as genetic discrimination, cloning and inheritable ('germ line') genetic engineering of human beings.
