This documentary is amazing. It shows us what the scientist can do and that there is a possibility of bringing extinct creatures to existence again. DNA makes life, and scientists are interested in what has proved that it is now easier to make a life. Proteins and chemical that are useful to human being and can be created in the labs. Biotech companies use bacterias to make synthetic DNA that is later used to either treat a condition or create a life. The bacterial DNA is used to encode and store data. DNA can be made in the lab from scratch, and this is how scientists can create a new life.
There are ways that the creation of DNA has been used to get rid of diseases, create life and other things.
A bacterium causes Lyme disease, and it is transmitted to humans through a bite from an infected tick. The tick gets the bacteria by feeding on the animal’s body that carries the bacteria. Those animals include deer and mouse. Once bitten by the tick, one can get fiver and a rash on the spot that has been bitten, only humans can carry the disease. Lyme disease can be treated using antibiotics. To stop the spread of this disease, scientists came up with a way to alter the DNA that carries the bacterial from the tick. With this, they decided to make the mice resistant to the bacteria by genetically engineering in the lab. These antibodies will make the mouse resistant even when the tick sticks to its body. This they believe even when the tick bites humans, here will be no transmission of the Lyme disease.
DNA technology can be used to create extinct creatures and save them from being extinct.
The gene therapy can be used to save lives. Several genetic conditions affect people’s lives and change how they live forever. ALD is one of them. This is a rare genetic condition that causes the build-up of fatty acids in the brain, and they tend to destroy the protective myelin sheath around the nerve wells that are responsible for the function of the brain. If the human gene therapy is given to ALD patients, they always become better. Scientists believe that therapy is a way of saving lives, and it should be used more often.
Genetic engineering is the process of using rDNA technology to alter the genetic makeup of an organism. It involves the direct manipulation of genes to get the desired phenotype of an organism.
Genetic engineering can be used to make designer babies. Some parents want perfect children, and with certain specifications, life children with strong bones or even genius children.
The documentary is surprising and interesting at the same time. It is hard to believe that DNA can be created in the lab and that scientists can create life using DNA. They can also alter the DNA or an orgasms to treat a condition even to make the creature better.
I feel that the scientist needed to talk more about genetic engineering to make a baby with certain specifications. Is it possible, and if yes, how can it be done and how many embryos have been made from the process so far.
CRISPR technology refers to the way DNA is manipulated and edited, which is cheaper and more simple than the previous methods. This technology is interesting because it is quickly developed, and it can be used to create new lives.
