(AKS 8a1, DOK 1) A physician has developed a new procedure shown above in
figure 15-2. What question should the physician consider asking about the impact of
this newly developed procedure on society?
A.
Will the new procedure help treat genetic disease?
B.
Will the new procedure help clone an animal?
O C. Will the new procedure help identify active genes?
D.
Will the new procedure help identify a parent?

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."

the contamination

we are putting to many trash.

you know they are heterozygous for a trait because they have it as jj or jj.
