DNA mapping has several characteristics that define the positive and negative points of its use in any patient. As a pro, we can mention that through it you can detect genetic and hereditary diseases by analyzing modified genes, and discover a disease and treat it even before it develops. The cons is that DNA mapping is still linked to ethical and social issues that may go beyond accepted societal limits and possible by current medicine, for example a patient who discovers a predisposition to a serious illness while young and develops psychological disorders due to this. discovery, even before it occurs.
