Have you
heard of this chemical term, Deoxyribonucleic acid? Or DNA? According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of
all known living organisms and many viruses. Along with RNA and proteins,
DNA is one of the three major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life. Genetic information is encoded as a sequence of
nucleotides (guanine, adenine, thymine,
and cytosine)
recorded using the letters G, A, T, and C. Most DNA molecules are
double-stranded helices, consisting of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides,
molecules with backbones made of alternating sugars (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups (related to phosphoric acid), with the nucleobases (G, A, T, C) attached to the sugars. DNA is well-suited
for biological information storage, since the DNA backbone is resistant to
cleavage and the double-stranded structure provides the molecule with a
built-in duplicate of the encoded information.
Today, the
word DNA is so famous in the research world. Why? Modern scientist of today
have found a way to manipulate our DNA for us to have a better body not prone
to any diseases. They said that, with this technology any disease can be cured.
But how? By DNA alteration or mutation. A change in DNA resulting from a copying error during DNA replication is called a mutation. Mutations happen
naturally, by chance, and when that happens there is no way for the mutated
cell to recover the original DNA sequence. Mutations play a role in evolution,
where they sometimes lead to the rise of new traits, and in cancer, where
mutations of cells within
the body may cause the cells to start multiplying out of control.
What??? Mutation? Are they saying that, in order for us
to be better or to have a healthier body they need our DNA to be mutated into
another one? So, meaning to say they are making mutants and Professor Charles
Xavier Academy of mutants will come to fulfilment. I am kinda scared of this
new discovery, I am not against it but I am just scared. Why? Because, until now
they don’t have facts and proof of what kind of mutation our body will have and
they only have one, only one proof that these technology are good for humans.
Mutations in our body are happening everyday and these mutations are cause
naturally. It doesn’t mean these mutations happened naturally for us to have a
newer or mutated body but it happens for us to have a new cell, for mutations
is a way of producing new cells in our body. There are a lot of fruits and
vegetables that can do these mutations naturally like grape seed extract,
resveratrol and etc.
These new technology is using synthetic chemicals for
our body to have these mutations, and this makes me scared off for a lot of
reasons. By using these synthetic chemicals mutations are force not naturally
happening. With using unbalance synthetic ingredients not from the whole food
or whole natural ingredients from plants, will create a bigger possibility of
having side effects. As we all know, most synthetic drugs, medicines and
synthetic ingredients have side effects. We may have good mutations, but what
about the side effects? And we are not just talking side effects here like most
drugs give, we are talking side effects here in DNA level. Which is the
foundation of our cells and our entire body. Think about it? The side effects
of these new technology will happen in our entire system. There are no known
side effects yet nowadays, but I am pretty sure in 5-10 years side effects will
be revealed and I hope there will be no cover up this time for the welfare of
the consumer here is at risk.
These side effects won’t happen unless these giant
companies sell or manufacture products from whole plant food or plant
ingredients, not synthetically made or laboratory made. I know most scientists
have an idea that the best way for us to have a healthier life is to eat what
we have in our garden but they wanted to earn more and produce these synthetic
drugs or medicines. God gives us a body that can heal itself whatever sickness do
we have (Immune system), but we must eat the right kind of foods for these
system to function well. God had given us everything for us to have a happy and
a healthy life… J
