Introduction: Over the years, many people have asked the same question: "What is genomics and is it really ethical?" Genomics has been considered unethical and is widely frowned upon in many societies today, but scientists believe otherwise. Genomics has recently become a major breakthrough for scientists and they are working on many ways to show the world that it is not unethical in any way and could benefit us and generations to come. Genomics is the study of a genome which is the complete set of DNA of organisms. In this field, specialists make extensive efforts to determine the complete DNA sequence of an organism and map its genetics. With this information, scientists can study genes involved in diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease and possibly find a way to modify them so that these types of serious illnesses can be preventable for future generations. Fred Sanger was the first man to pioneer genomics when he sequenced the genomes of a virus and a mitochondrion. He and his group established different genomic sequencing techniques between 1970 and 1980. From 1970 to date, genomics has become the genomic science program that falls under the Human Genome Project and both are led by the National Institute of human genome research in America and in April 2003 this project was successfully completed with a high quality version of the complete human genome available to the public.Benefits: Genomics and Humans The Genome Project has enormous effects positive on the economy of many countries such as China, Germany, France, Spain and many others. The Human Genome Project has brought in more than $800 million since 1990 and created about 4 million jobs since 2003, bringing computer testing to thousands of people, which could become a huge benefit to them and the rest of the world. In my opinion, the positive aspects of genomics outweigh the negative aspects; with this technology, new diseases could be discovered and cured, serious illnesses could be treated early and prevented, and many lives and families could be saved. These positives are just the beginning of the many benefits that genomics has to offer and simply by studying it more and educating people about it; it could ultimately lead to a stronger economy, a lower death rate, and a much stronger community and country. While the negative side cannot be ignored, it can certainly be avoided by working together and helping people feel comfortable and aware of it. When people begin to realize that this is of great benefit to society, they and the economy will be able to eradicate discrimination and genomics will be able to develop...
