Affymetrix products enable scientists to turn genetic information
into specialized detailed knowledge. We believe this enhanced knowledge
will transform the quality of our lives, and help us more fully understand
ourselves.
For society to benefit from these extraordinary biological advances,
Affymetrix believes that informed public discussion, meaningful
application of ethical principles, and thoughtful public policy
must foster the constructive uses of genetic information. Education
of the public and health care providers will help us become genetically
literate, and enable us to make informed choices.
