16. Limits should be placed on genetic engineering, people can easily manipulate this and use it for there good. Genetic enineerging should not be allowed at all since it can corrupt this world and cause a lot of chaos powerful people can easily start enginnering whoever they want. It should be alowed to get rid of serious diseases but only with the goverments approval since without these diseases the world might become overcrowded.

17. Cloning should be forbidden all together since, people with more and money can soon replace whoever they want, and illegally start controlling entire countries through human cloning. Cloning of animals in order to make food should be permitted but of peope, no. If someone cannot have a child they need to find a different solution since if this is under the wrong hands it can turn into chaos.

13. The predicting of a persons health in the future should be stopped since this information can cause a lot of problems in that persons life, knowing what disease you have beforehand isn't pleasant. Maybe doctors should be the only ones to view this and if there is a cure they should only then inform the person in order to help them otherwise, people might even kill themselves if there is no cure to there particular disease.

Cracking the code of life

Most of the ideas in this movie were new to me, I didn't know that genes and DNA Could tell us so much about us, and that there were so many diseases that were and are caused due to genes and our DNA. The reaction that was sparked after watching this was suprise, I was so suprised how amazing DNA is. Something Scary were the genetic diseases that can only be caused by 4 atoms. I learned how you can tell almost everything about us and our lives from our DNA, I learned that other beings such as fruit flies aren't so much genologically different than us even though we look more complex.

If I could find out if I have a certain diseases and no cure was available, I would not take the test, since you would live the rest of your life knowing that you have this gene diseases and there is no way you can stop it.

If reasearchers had a chance to take my DNA and maybe figure out a cure for a certain disease, I would give them my DNA since you can help save a lot of lives and change the world for the better. Most probably I would want royalties since, you gave a little part of yourself to a different person in order to find a cure, part of the credit goes to you since without you they would have been able to find this cure. If they discovered a gene that might result in a health problem and it is curable I would like to be informed since you can prevent it, but if it's not curable then no, since you would constantly live in fear.

If more is learned there is a risk of genetic discrimination, because of ones gene make up, like today there is discrimination for many things, but you could limit this by controlling who and where you can acecces the genetic makeup of a human being, only authroized scientists can be able to see this.
