In "Old Man's War, " a sci-fi series by John Scalzi, only men older than 65 can serve in the army. This is due to advancements in gene editing! Younger men who have their whole lives ahead of them still are able to enjoy their lives to the fullest. We can re-imagine the dark realities we live in with DNA technology.

Of course there are downsides, like eugenics where people discriminate against certain traits, but as long as we are responsible and respectful, the pros far outweigh the cons. Life never gave us lemons, we made them. ]]> 2022-02-15 19:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2049346292 dokim6 https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2049405941 Did you know James Watson, of Watson & Crick, is a firm believer in the inferiority of certain races? Why should we place our trust in pioneers of DNA when some are backwards in their thinking?

The average person is forced to eat GMOs that are unlabeled, understudied, and possibly unsafe. Just because it was cheaper for the farming industry to produce disease resistant crops does not mean it's healthier for us to consume. When will we start prioritizing public health over private profits? ]]> 2022-02-15 19:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2049405941 https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2056019212 Dog Cloning 

Dog cloning through ViaGen Pets presents an opportunity for dog owners to open a new window for extending their relationships with their beloved pets. Dogs provide a unique form of companionship, loyalty and love. It is difficult for many dog owners to imagine life without their dog. Indeed, many dogs become a member of the family. At ViaGen Pets, many of us are loving dog owners ourselves and we understand intimately the nature of these relationships. ViaGen is a world leader in animal cloning. Our scientists have been developing successful animal cloning and reproductive technology for over 15 years. How much would it be to clone you would ask? Dog cloning would have to set you back at 50,000$, paid in two equal installments. Then for you cat lovers cloning would cost you 35,000$. ]]> 2022-02-18 22:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2056019212 https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2056025434 I think that it's important to start gene editing because it can pave the future of science. Like in Jurassic park, when making the dinosaur scientist in the movies were using gene editing to make the dinosaur as well as DNA. In order to make the DNA for the dinosaurs, scientist have to mess around genes. Editing genes is one of the ways to move forward in gene technology.]]> 2022-02-18 22:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2056025434 4000226811 https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2056028875 I believe that altering out genes could be for the better. According to livescience.com, we can potentially cure cancer by editing our genes. In fact, there is a tool called CRISPR, that can correct or delete disease-causing genes or add new ones to prevent diseases like cancer. Sure, it can cause benefits and flaws since it doesn't work just yet, but with progressive knowledge, we can make the world a better place. In conclusion, I believe that editing genes are for the better because it can change many lives.]]> 2022-02-18 22:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2056028875 4000222531 https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2056253687 I think that we should edit our genes because it could save a species from exciton. Wolly Mammoths went extinct around 4,000 years ago at the end of the "ice age". The wolly mammoth could be resurrected within a few years if a new biotech firm is successful. Bioscience company colossal plans to impregnate an elephant with an embryo made of mammoth and elephant cells. Last year, the bioscience company announced it had managed to raise € 12.6 million from investors so far, in order to achieve the co-founder’s vision of de-extinction.    ]]> 2022-02-19 05:47:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2056253687 https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2056264788 I think that gene editing is important because its one of great interest in the prevention and treatment of human diseases. Currently, most research on genome editing is done to understand diseases using cells and animal models. Scientists are still working to determine whether this approach is safe and effective for use in people. It can also help plants, grow crops, and food products by improving crops with gene editing provides a range of options. by altering only a few nucleotides from billions found in the genomes of living cells, altering the full allele or by inserting a new gene in a targeted region of the genome.]]> 2022-02-19 06:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2056264788 https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2057175125 I believe that we should encourage gene alterations because there are plenty of benefits involved. According to the National Human Genome Research Institute, "One way that scientists use genome editing is to investigate different diseases that affect humans." If we could identify diseases by gene editing, we could see a lot of the health issues humans face before it causes a lot of damage." On the same website it says, "Scientists are developing - gene therapy treatments involving genome editing - to prevent and treat diseases in humans. " So if we could find diseases and cure or treat them using the gene alterations, it sounds like a good option to go with.]]> 2022-02-20 10:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2057175125 https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2057923638 I think we should edit our genes because it can help alter with factoring out bad diseases and maybe even some cancerous ones or at least try to prevent it. This would change the way how humans evolve over time and can make our earth a more safer environment with less worries of diseases, sickness, ect. Editing genes can also help us get back to some animals as well such as changing some genes of a great white shark to make them bigger again if that is even possible, and if they have a big enough environment with a supply of food for them. Changing genes can also affect how one can live such as being healthy or not and by filtering out the other genes it can cause someone to be more healthy than they already are and can make them prone to other things and can maybe cause a longer life span for them. Editing human or animal genes can make them live longer and with that they can evolve over the course of centuries and can make the average lifespan for that organism longer. So this is why I think it would be effective to be able to edit genes for any organism.]]> 2022-02-21 02:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2057923638 https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2061470490 Gene Mutation is the insertion of normal genes into human genes to correct genetic disorders. In some ways Some genetic changes are described as new (de novo) variants; these variants are recognized in a child but not in either parent. In some cases, the variant occurs in a parent’s egg or sperm cell but is not present in any of their other cells. In other cases, the variant occurs in the fertilized egg shortly after the egg and sperm cells unite. (It is often impossible to tell exactly when a de novo variant happened.) As the fertilized egg divides, each resulting cell in the growing embryo will have the variant. De novo variants are one explanation for genetic disorders in which an affected child has a variant in every cell in the body, but the parents do not, and there is no family history of the disorder.]]> 2022-02-22 22:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2061470490 https://padlet.com/dokim6/2vs5n5x0thpdn1iv/wish/2061490221 I think that altering out genes will better the future of science. I think that altering genes will be better for the future of science due to the fact that it can help defeat diseases. According to explorebiotech.com, altering genes can prevent the inherit disease from flowing to the offspring. Some of these diseases that can be eliminated include Diabetes and cystic fibrosis. Also, with gene altering, new immunotherapy can be developed using genetic editing that can treat cancer. This is why I think that the altering of genes will be be good for the future of science.
