these scissors have become one of the most important tools in the world, genetics labs, genetic scissors, work on plants and animals. and even on humans, they're universal. and that's why they have such huge potential the new technology is so powerful that in just a few years, it's become a fundamental technique for geneticists. in modern plant breeding in research and in medicine. but with great power comes great responsibility. should humans intervene in the blueprint of a living being? is it crossing an ethical boundary? in creating new species, many fear that humans are playing god. genetic scissors are already being used in a wide range of applications, like customized plant breeding. and the development of new drugs, treatments and vaccines. it's created a lot of excitement in medical research, but some people are frightened by the technology. geneticist, professor joachim vit boat says society needs to be aware of the opportunities and dangers, especially when it comes to human applications. he ferguson mobile film on the side question is always about what you use it for lines of.

this is obviouslyelevant to genetic testing and all genetic test.so if my genetic test reveals that i need or would benefit from care or protectionr treatment or some kind of specialized health care or health management, who's going to pay for that care? do they promise tt that care is going to be covered? it's not clear in gina that it does. and it's much more likely to think those are issues that aren't going to be resolved through more decisions about health insurance can and can't cover. example, positive genetic test can result in recommendation from a personal physician for increased counseling, surveillance, surgery, gina doesn't require that insurance y for that early intervention or those preventive measures. so it's fair to say that the question of follow-up care is going to be one i would think utmost in the mind of dtc client or consumer deciding whether or not to opt into some of these test that may indicate a need for further medical care. and at the very at least when a consumer is deciding to go forward knowing the extent to which th

it turns out that's not just a cultural matter but also a genetic one. a technology called crisper had its genes it modifies the cells genome by removing or adding bits of d.n.a. . this enables it to turn genes on or off in plants and in animals including humans . society will have to think hard about the implications of sciences growing ability to engineer our genes. hearing voices. visual hallucinations. delusions. schizophrenia is a mental disorder associated with changes in perception thoughts mood and behavior it can be hereditary so what genes are associated with the disease. the psychiatric clinic at berlin's university hospital. a study here involves healthy test subjects providing saliva samples containing their genetic material and stoop a sions who suffer from schizophrenia. geneticists. is looking for genes that may play a role in the disease. minor presumed list of my personal hope is to shed light on to the darkness of psychiatric. knowledge so to speak. to she listens and supreme. people who suffer from schizophrenia may hear voices and be
