Genetic Testing Research Paper

A Scientist’s Point of View We already know the basics of genetic testing, but I wanted to get a more professional and personal view on this medical controversy that is why I decided to knock on the door of Emma Rennie. Emma is a Ph.D. R&D scientist who works for Agilent Technologies in Santa Clara, and when she first introduced herself I was very intrigued about what she was going to say. It all started on a cloudy Saturday afternoon, I was eagerly waiting for Emma to open the front door. I was thrilled to learn about her personal experiences and how genetic testing and the science field had impacted her life. Emma opened the door with a warming smile and I came into her lavishing home. As I looked around I could already tell that she had made all the right choices in life, she had her diploma’s displayed on the wall and she had pictures of her family surrounding the living room, she is a loving mother of two …show more content…
I think this is true in some cases because we can figure out in seconds what we do not already know about our bodies and prevent certain genetic diseases from affecting us. It is extraordinary how genetic testing has advanced as well, Emma said, “it used to take years to sequence microorganism DNA, it took 13 years to sequence the first human genome, now human DNA can be sequenced completely in a very short timescale, just over a day”. Genetic testing is getting quicker and Emma is doing her part in making all advances like these, possible by innovation, and determination. When she told me these statistics I was shocked, I had no idea that genetic testing had advanced that much, soon it will be accessible for anyone to
