Will we ever find a cure for cancer? Well, the answer isn't so simple.

Genome theft is already a possibility, and that problem looks like it's only going to grow.

The single participant in a groundbreaking—and controversial—study is forcing clinicians to confront the thorny ethical issues surrounding the sequencing of individual genomes to offer a glimpse at what the future of medicine may look like.
