Describe how the malarial parasite affects a red blood cell in a person without the sickle- cell mutation.

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.

Is becoming less expensive to screen blood samples for dna certain diseases have genetic basis what is possible ethical concern about the availability of inexpensive dna testing
