How genetics influences our lives?

How would life be if there’re no genetics? How would it be if everyone would be identical? It’s impossible to know for certain, but there’s one thing we can be sure of. In various ways, future life will be very different from life today.

One point is that in today’s life we are already able to influence the increasing of vegetables, which is called genetic engineering. But there are lots of states in which gene manipulation is forbidden. Also Austria has the opinion, that consumers and producers should have a true choice to decide to which type of agricultural products they give preference. Another point is that we’re also able to clone, but there’re lots of aspects which are inhuman. Some researchers think of the possibility to cultivate humans, for organ donors only.

Recombinant DNA research involves potential dangers. Genetic engineering could create dangerous new forms of life, either accidently or deliberately. A host microorganism may acquire harmful characteristics as a result of insertion of foreign genes. For example plants arise, whose consequence will be that the original plant will die out. If disease-carrying microorganisms formed as a result of genetic manipulation escaped from laboratories, they could cause a variety of diseases.

In my opinion are positive and negative aspects on genetics. Without genetics lots of people would die because of cancer or other diseases and no one would be able to help. But there are also aspects which are inhuman, like I told before.

So, genetics have their good and bad points, like everything in life. I for one would want that resarchers will only take the positive points out of it.
