Question:
Tests, I know none of us enjoy taking them.
The studying, preparing, passing, and failing.
Yet, what if a test could unlock the future?
What if you could know your future by taking just one test? What would you do then?
Well, tests like these exist today and they are called genetic screening. Genetic Screening is the examination of DNA from a certain organism. This test can unlock future genetic problems one may have by revealing certain DNA that has the possibility to form into a disease. Yet, these tests may come with a price and very few of these are allowed in some states. There are risks such as accuracy and the amount of information one may recieve from the tests. This has been an ever prevailing issue in our society, yet the big picture questions are what can you do to prevent or pause the progress of this disease? Or is there little possibility of stopping the disease? And who can withdraw this genetic info? Insurance companies? And what if an employer gets a hold of this info and doesn't give you a job because of it? Hopefully these questions can be answered soon. What are your views on these tests and what prior knowledge did you have before reading this topic?

Choices:
I believe genetic screening is a good thing yet I don't know very much about it
Genetic screening sucks and I don't care if I have any knowledge of it
Yes, genetic testing is great and I have much knowledge of the subject
I think genetic screening is bad yet Ido have much knowledge of this
I don't care!!!

 

Yeah, that's the one!

Did anybody else see that sci-fi movie about a civilization of genetically perfect individuals, and the main character was perfectly normal, and couldn't get a job or anything because of it? Wow, that was a run-on.
