[edit] HGDP failure = POV

The project has drawn comparison with the failed Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP) from the 1990s, which ended after a range of controversies emerged about how the DNA information would be managed. This statement contradicts the HGDP article which does not indicate the the project has been terminated or has not produced any results. This wording smacks of POV. --Eddylyons 19:21, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
