Tired of staying home and reading books? Try a short walk round the Science
Museum, London, and take in the thorny issues of Genetic Choices, a show that

debate among insurers about access to genetic information, this may be the place
to catch up on the issues. Supported by the Wellcome Trust, the exhibition
includes art, interactive displays and video footage.
