The acronyms ELSI (in the United States) and ELSA (in Europe) refer to research activities that anticipate and address ''ethical, legal and social implications'' (ELSI) or ''aspects'' (ELSA) of emerging life sciences, notably genomics and nanotechnology. ELSI was conceived in 1988 when James Watson, at the press conference announcing his appointment as director of the Human Genome Project (HGP), suddenly and somewhat unexpectedly declared that the ethical and social implications of genomics warranted a special effort and should be directly funded by the National Institutes of Health.〔Cook-Deegan, R. 1994/1995.

New York/London: Norton〕 == Spread == Various ELSI or ELSA programs have been developed, in Canada,〔http://www.genomecanada.ca/en/ge3ls/〕 Europe〔http://ec.europa.eu/research/life/elsa/〕 and the Far East.〔Yoshizawa G. et al (2014) ELSI practices in genomic research in East Asia: implications for research collaboration and public participation.
