Gene Reading Can Predict The Future
What if we lived in a world where we know a baby’s chances of developing cancer or having a high IQ before he or she is even born? Institutions like Myriad Genetics and the UK Biobank are working together to create astonishingly accurate methods of DNA analysis. By reading genetic code, scientists are effectively able to predict the future and learn so much more about every individual. This sort of technology could predict the onset of diseases and help to prevent them ever happening; for example, if a man was seen as a high risk for testicular cancer, he could be monitored more closely to catch the disease and treat it early.
