Cheating Is So 1999
In the article “Cheating Is So 1999” written by Shaun Assael tells on about a company calling in retired superstars and average Joes in for testing. It also tells us in fact that in 2000 the first human genome was reveal, costing over 3 billion dollars. Now day’s biotech firms can sequence a full genome for a million dollars. The people who were involved with this experiment were Kovach, 23andMe, Merlin Olsen, Phil Olsen, Orrin, Olsen, Marcellus Wiley, and Mark Schlereth. What this experiment was trying to accomplish was to determine and figure out what makes the NFL or Olympic athlete who they are and why they’re so good at what they do. The main gene they found in most of the athletes was called ACTN3 which is a gene that manufactures fast-twitch fibers. In fact this study was the largest-ever study of genetics. According to Huntington Willard, Duke University renowned Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy, stated that pros may not be genetically different from the Joes, but he could see how they are different from one another. Another gene that Willard and his students found was called COL1A1 which is a singular task: manufacturing collagen, the protein that keeps ligaments strong. What I think was being done in this process is to see why and or how NFL players are “better” than others. I feel that yes it is a good idea to figure this out because then you can look back at it and say “That’s why he was so good, is because he had those certain genes.” Now the whole Dukes thing I think it is probably the best thing they have ever done because testing those guys before every season is best for the team, player, and staff because who knows they might not be good enough genetics wise or it possibly could save the player from a huge injury that they may have not of known about that could have happened. Yes, I believe that this whole genetics testing is ethically right. Duke on the other hand doesn’t really have an advantage because it’s not like
