The Human Genome Project is devoted to mapping the general DNA sequence of our species. This could lead to the development of ne

w medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. However, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. One concern is A) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. B) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. C) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. D) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.

Answer:

B) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up

Explanation:

     Genetic discrimination can be defined as unequal treatment given to someone in the face of predisposition or manifestation of a particular disease of genetic or hereditary origin that may derive directly from that individual's genetic information or indirectly towards his or her relatives. Certainly, such segregation will have greater repercussions in the field of employment, health plans and life insurance. Obviously, such problems concern the privacy of genetic data, the fulmination of the principles of autonomy and free and informed consent, human dignity, and the exploitation of such information by interested parties as previously noted. The injustice of the present problem lies in the universe in which the person has no control over the results of their gene expression, as they are a consequence of gene versus gene and gene versus environment interaction. In addition to the environmental, another factor is crucial in gene dynamics, we refer to family history.

The human body contains roughly 100 trillion cells. approximately what percentage of those cells are independent microorganisms?
Lady_Fox [76]
I think the answer is 90%. According to the recent National institute of Health, Microbes in the human body estimates that 90% of the cells in human body are bacterial, fungal, or otherwise non-human. Despite the arguments that bacteria enjoys a commensal relationship with the humans hosts, only a fraction of the human microbia has been characterized.
