GENOME WORLD™
While some scientists
squabble over the new genome discoveries (and look for ways of
making more money) we thought we will concentrate on the future
impact of those findings on the wider public. Genome World™
intends to explore the modern genetic discoveries and their
future implications on our day-to-day life, in a simple, but
systematic manner. Following the roots of Medical-Journals.com,we
aim to link all online information covering genetic developments
in a methodical and easy-to-access style. Jargon busting and
simplicity will be in the forefront at all times. Where
necessary, Genome World™ will provide its own, unbiased, and
frank opinion on appropriate matters.
Future impact of
genome discoveries will not only be on disease-prevention,
diagnosis and treatment, but will also extend to some areas of
the law, insurance and biotechnology industries. Indeed,costs
implications (like in many other areas of medicine) will
eventually decide the level of gene-benefits to the human race.
However, in an uncertain world--the speed of change and start
of real benefits to the wider public--will remain a matter of
speculation for some time to come. Already, 'genetic testing' by
some insurance companies, has provoked a considerable public
debate. Such sensitive issues will create some important ethical
and legal dilemmas as we move on. We cannot forget the DNA's
established involvement in crime prevention & detection: will
the future developments have a greater impact on areas like
crime detection, and if so, how long will it be, before we
notice any appreciable change?.
Hope the above will
give a flavour of things to come, and Genome World™ is looking
forward to delivering that to you. In the meantime, please
