around the world. People find themselves asking‚ could my genetic information raise my health bills? Could this cause me to be rejected from a job opportunity? These anxieties are causing people to lash out at genetic research‚ and ultimately the human genome project. People do not want our understanding of human genomics to advance. This is because the risks of the development of the technology could inflict on them. A major risk is genetic discrimination. I believe that genetic discrimination is wrong

In this world‚ in this time and age‚ many diseases and disorders exist‚ with many more evolving‚ and others being created and discovered. Some are acquired‚ while others are passed down through family like traits. The latter are called genetic diseases‚ since inheritance plays a role in procuring the disease. There are countless of studies concerning genetic diseases. Gene mapping is used in describing how a gene could have been mutated or altered in a way for a condition to be developed. Knowing

Also‚ scientists are now able to identify specific chromosomes involved in certain disorders such as Down Syndrome‚ Turner Syndrome‚ and Klinefelter Syndrome. An individual with Down Syndrome has an extra copy of chromosome 21 (“Chromosomal Abnormalities‚” par. 1). Only women can have Turner Syndrome which occurs when a female has only one X chromosome. Females with this disorder may have an array of developmental and medical problems; they are also sterile (“Turner Syndrome‚” par. 1). Klinefelter

Maurice Wilkins has been one of the greatest contributors to DNA discovery‚ studying DNA molecules with the help of specialized microscopes‚ Wilkins and other scientists have given way to the discovery and deepening of the three-dimensional structure of DNA. Wilkin’s ambition and desire for knowledge led him to investigate more into the aspects of DNA looking for its functioning and profound understanding. Along with Rosalind Franklin and James Watson‚ under an analysis and research project‚ DNA
