The correct answer is - lung cancer.

The asbestos is a material that has been used very often in the past, mostly for making water pipes and roofs. Few decades ago it was proven that the asbestos actually breaks down into microscopic little pieces that are extremely dangerous. This little pieces, if inhaled, can gradually result in the development of a lung cancer. Because of what the research had shown, lot of people and institutions were in panic, so urgent and quick measures were taken in order to change the water pipes and the roofs.

barxatty [35]
The nitrogenous bases form hydrogen bonds between opposing DNA strands to form the rungs of the "twisted ladder" or double helix of DNA or a biological catalyst that is found in the nucleotides. Adenine is always paired with thymine, and guanine is always paired with cytosine. These are known as base pairs.

Is the practice of genetically modifying human cells ethical? Why or why not?
kumpel [21]

It totally depends upon whether modification is being done in somatic cells or germ cells. Somatic cells modification is ethically accepted because it doesn't pass from one generation to another generation but germline modification is considered as unethical because the modification will pass on to the next generation leading to the persistence of modification in future generations. The problem with genetic modifications is that the impacts of modifications are unpredictable, rather than being fruitful they may lead to lethal mutations so if it occurs in just somatic cells, then even if it is lethal/harmful, it will be confined to only that individual but if a lethal mutation occurs in germ cells then it will pass on to the subsequent generations and it will persist in all future generations.
