Some people are concerned that scientific strides in “mapping” the human genome could lead to __________.A.increased socialized medicineB.a decrease in eating disordersC.abuse of genetic informationD.the ending of all illness

The question is asking for potential negative consequences of mapping the human genome.

Option A: Increased socialized medicine - This is not necessarily a negative consequence, and it's not directly related to the abuse of genetic information.

Option B: A decrease in eating disorders - This is a positive outcome, not a negative one.

Option C: Abuse of genetic information - This could be a potential negative consequence. With the mapping of the human genome, there is a risk that this information could be misused, for example, for genetic discrimination in insurance and employment, or privacy invasion.

Option D: The ending of all illness - This is a positive outcome, not a negative one.

So, the answer is C. Abuse of genetic information.
