  1. i really understand how plasmids work now
    i think that they are really cool, but also couldn't they be used to cure like cancer?

  2. daniel - well, many types of cancer are caused by environmental factors, like weight, smoking, etc.

    the video's great in terms of information, but i don't think the child actors are very realistic(which doesn't really matter). they didn't get one question wrong, and they were always right on cue back and forth!

  3. also, Ms. Alonso, I looked on the website you recommended to me, and I read all about breast cancer. I didn't find anything about the genes of breast cancer at all. Just general information, and every other place I went to for my sources said there were only two genes for breast cancer.

  4. mrs alonso or nina why cant we use the concept of genetic engineering to make an average human being more extra ordinary, like use the chameleons genes to be able to blend into its surrounding. would that be morally wrong?
