dominated by science. It seems that everyday‚ a new controversial topic appears. Most recently‚ the controversial topic is human germline gene therapy and this type of therapy does not have a place in 2016. I am against germline gene therapy because it is too early for human research‚ we as the science community do not know enough about the process of how genes control phenotypic expression‚ and if the technology to edit germline cells would be leaked to the public it could create an entirely new

Does human behavior have genetic component? The answer to that question is controversial in part because ethical and legal issues make controlled studies of human behavior difficult to devise. However‚ the evidence for a genetic component in human behavior is overwhelming in spite of that limitation. This essay is based on article written by Steven Pinker‚ Are your Genes To Blame? Personal traits and heredity are two important factors‚ which determine the character of people. It became a hot topic

Gene therapy was introduced into the scientific field around 1972‚ which led to the first attempt at its use in 1980. Although original efforts were unsuccessful‚ this event ignited research into the idea‚ which has led to the multiple developments in gene therapy still being refined today. Around the same time‚ biotechnology also emerged as a new and ingenious tool in field of biology which only furthered the potential abilities of gene therapy. Current research surrounding these fields combines
