Michael Parker refers to the transcript in this file as 'G.15', but notes that it should have been referenced as 'G.13' as it was the thirteenth meeting of the Genethics Club. This will need to be considered when viewing material relating to his book Ethical Problems and Genetics Practice (SA/GEC/B/2-3).
