DNA Technology
...ould change the babies’ eyes colors, its hair color, and different hereditary characteristics. Gene sequencing is done by isolating DNA from the cell, and then making multiple copies. Then you seperate the double strands and then divide the single ones into 4 different containers. Then we add replication enzymes and necessary bases to each container. Each container has radioactive bases that stop replication. After the copied strands are seperated, they’re placed on gel that has electrical charges running through it. The DNA’s then move towards opposite electrical charge. X-ray paper is then placed on top of gel and radioactive marks are then displayed on paper. I don’t think we should change DNA unless it’s for helping diseases or other harmful things, but not just to tamper with life. It’s hard to draw the lines on where to clone and not to clone. To be able to clone, you have to get a donor cell and an egg cell. Then all of the chromosomes are sucked out of the donor cell. After, an electrical charge is used to fuse the cells together. The resulting embryo is incubated and then implanted. Cloning is good in a way like Therapeutic cloning, where you clone body parts to implant in sick/dying people. Then on the other hand you’re playing God when you’re cloning people. As I’ve heard it doesn’t work as well as we think. Clones life expectancies are short and they won’t be exactly the same. So I think cloning body parts and necessary things for sick and dying people is fine, and maybe someone for scientific purposes is fine. For right now I don’t think we should clone people. Genetic engineering is taking attributes of one item and putting it into another. So you could take some DNA out of a fish, get the code for the ability not to freeze and then implant that DNA into tomatoes so they don’t freeze. I think it w...
