Some important advantages
It provides the knowledge of the effects of variations of DNA among individuals can revolutions the wats to diagnose, treat and prevent many diseases that affect humens. It also provides clues to the understanding of humen biology. It helps to fine out the humen evolution. Identification through DNA forensics is also possible.
Some important disadvantages
People might discover and untreatable genetic disease. People may abuse the knowledge obtained from the HGP . Problem can occur for the ownership of the genetic test result and the patenting of hemen genes and DNA. believe that they are special and unique in their own ways and may wish to remanin like that .
