Introduction

Each of Reilly's five fascinating tales about genetic disorders raises ethical questions that loom in our future. Many children born deaf have two copies of a gene mutation, and it is now possible to identify couples at risk for bearing deaf children even if they have no family history. Is deafness a disease? On that question, hearing parents of deaf children often sharply disagree with deaf adults. As the science progresses, will the number of children born deaf decline and put a culture at risk?

Cracking the code of life

It is without any doubt that any and all steps to increase and better health and life of individuals should be promoted and endorsed. DNA research and study is no exception. To better understand the opportunities and realities of these researches, it is essential to understand DNA. DNA is in the nucleus as chromosomes organized in a small portion are in the mitochondria (" power plants "of cells). Plants and algae also have DNA in their chloroplasts, the photosynthetic operated organelles. In bacteria and archaic, the prokaryotes, which have no nucleus, the DNA is in the cytoplasm. Some viruses are called RNA viruses that have RNA but no DNA to store genetic information (Atkins P. 2009).

In common parlance, the deoxyribonucleic acid is commonly described by the acronym DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the corresponding existing German acronym DNS are used, however, rare and, according to Duden "obsolescent”. It is a good thing to participate is such researches as they can help in identifying better ways of identifying diseases, and their cures. If it can help identify a disease that can occur in the future, it is a blessing as steps can be taken to prepare for it. Profit sharing is not a very appealing option because it is the individual who is benefitting in the end.

Genetic modification of food crops

We now need to produce more food without damaging the land and Genetic Modification is one tool that can help. The GM debate is complex, with several intertwined questions. Is the consumption of GM food hazardous to human health? Will GM crops harm innocuous organisms by entering the food chain? Is the escape of exotic genes into native species genetic pollution that will alter genetic diversity and disturbed ecosystems? Are too few companies controlling food production, exploiting poor farmers with expensive protected seed and plundering genes from the third world? Still Genetic Modification is not unnatural. Indeed, those of us who still smoke inhale the combustion products of a natural GM event where foreign DNA entered tobacco millions of years ago somewhere in the Andes.

The genetic modified pant seeds germinated naturally, and new plants arise. Either by chance, or perhaps by virtue of an additional advantage, plants carrying these additional genes came to pre-dominate in the population so that eventually all members of this species came to carry them. This plant species was the ancient ancestor that evolved into the four ...
