The Future of Geomic Research in the United States

Too often, when the term genetic engenering is uttered, people envision a world of geneticly "perfect" people where thouse who are normal are looked down on by genetic supermen. The fact that this vision could not be further from the truth does not dissuade the nay sayers from vemonently dissparaing the practice of genetic engenering, in any of its many forms. The truth of the matter is that the genetic feilds of study, particularly the …

…future of genetics lies in genomic research as does the future of the human race. "The future geneticist will seek the connection between the gene and the complex chromosome, between the gene and cell structure, between the gene and the evolving population" (Ravin 203). However, without increased funding, these geneticists of the future are doomed to fail as they will not have the resources they need. This is why funding must be increased for genomic research.
