Abstract

The Human Genome project generates immense interest in the scientific community though there are also important issues for the business community, particularly insurance companies. The dramatic advances in our understanding of the human genetic code, or human genome, affect our understanding of the determinants of human longevity and this is critical to the profitability of life insurance contracts.
