A gene is a molecular unit of every living organism for instance each cell in the human body contains about 32.000 genes.so what are genes? A gene is something which carries information that goes toward determinig your traits such as eye color, blood type and some of your physical characteristics.Hovewer recent studies show that genes do not just determine your physical characteristics for example the study of genopolitics. Scientists work with identical and freternal twins ,and studies show that identical twins (who have more similar genes than fraternal twins ) have more similar political views. Also scientists think genes affect our personality and thinking.In conclusion, genes affect people’s behaviors , personality ,views ,and physical character.
The result of the genetic studies bring new questions ; can we encode gens? can we learn people’s future choises? Can we change people’s personality or political views by encodig genes? Firstly, scientific research and experiments show that we can encode genes and we can change something which depends on genes such as producing chickens with four wings . Hovewer, it is not healthy and it can cause cancer because scientists can not encode successfully like in nature; maybe they will be able to encode successfully in the future.Secondly , scientists say: “some simple traits –like eye color- are directly controlled by a small number of genes .But most things like political views – have no sole genetic cause.” So we can learn simple things by analyzing genes but we can not learn personality or political views yet and because we do not exactly know how genes impact our views either we can not change people’s views by encodig genes.
To sum up,genetics is a new science and it is like a dark room.We can not know what will happen when we discover the secret of genes.It can benefit us like producing legs or arms for people who do not have legs or arms.It could also bring diseasters like cancer.In my opinion, scientific research has to proceed carefully and before trying new things on people, they have to be sure not to cause bad results.
