How can we, by analyzing the genetic material from only a FEW human beings, claim that we will understand all there is to understand about ALL human beings? If the idae is to understand DIFFERENCES among us, don't we need to examine the genetic code from MANY?

No. I think you are missing the point of the human genome. Nobody is claiming to know all there is to understand about all human beings. No test will ever do that. But humans are 99.9% genetically the same since we are the same species, and by understanding the human genome, information will be learned that will benefit many.

the human genone project is very high tech and scientifically promotes the idea of creating the perfect healthy human being by altering or exchanges bad traits in ones genes which cause for birth defects or disease which some are born with.Yes this project is still in experimentation but in the years to come hopfully there will be some breakthroughs which allow for 100% efficiency in the creation and success of this project. Yes there is many differences amoung us as humans but it is better to have healthy differeneces than diseases or medical defects this project is simply trying to fix humans as in better health not take away our differences. the genetic code contains our differences which some people would like to change their codes for several reasons but mostly to prevent medical deficiences which is a positive aspect that allows organizations to fund and continue it
