There are increasing concerns over the ethical, legal, and social implications spawned from the Human Genome Project. This study is about analysis and a summary of foreign cases for experts on ethical, legal, and social implications(ELSI) of the human genome project. In ELSI professional education of other countries, there are teaching-learning material development, teaching-learning model construction, an online education information center, experts’ network for human genome education, academic research and seminars. The U.S. is laying out the most various, detailed, and professional education activities. In the ELSI research of Human Genome Project(HGP) hosted by the National Institute of Health(NIH) and the Department of Energy(DOE), the U.S. government set the protection of genetic privacy as their primary goal and supported various experts education programs. In addition, there has been active participation by experts from medical and science groups such as National Coalition for Health Professional Education in Genetics(NCHPEG), National Association of Genetic Counselors(NAGC), as well as American Society of Human Genetics(ASHG). In Europe, in line with the EU’s inauguration, drawing an outline of ELSI has been actively pursued under the EU’s full support. European Initiatives for Biotechnology Education(EIBE), where 17 countries cooperated for 10 years since 1991, is a good example.
