DNA - Social Studies



The Good things
The bad things 
A sense of relief
Your data can be hacked
Reduce the risk of cancer by making lifestyle changes 
Police can access your dna
Early treatment
It may increase your anxiety and stress 

If I had a chance to do a DNA test I would do it. There are many
reasons why you should. Genetic testing can save lives, family
history, risk of a disease etc. 

A DNA test will tell you if you have a family member with a genetic
condition so they can see if you are at risk. The test results may
indicate a low or high risk of passing along the genetic condition.
It can help with developing a plan.  


The DNA results might say that you have a genetic disorder that
they didn’t know they had. Knowing the information you can seek
medical help and treatment early. This can save and improve their
life in the future.

DNA tests can also tell you your ancestry information. This can
show you where your family is from. With the information you
find out more about your family and find out more people who are
related to you. You can also discover what percentage of your
DNA belongs to different ethnicities. 

Overall I think that if I had a chance to take a DNA test I definitely would. A DNA test can tell you a lot about you, your family, ethnicity, health etc. DNA tests tell us stories about where you're from and who we are.

  1. Well done Genica - DNA is a really interesting thing and many of use see the positives of tracking you DNA like above. I find it interesting that we could find out about possible diseases we might be prone to. I wonder how you would feel if you found things you didn't want to know about. Very exciting and very scary.
