p. 2). Genetics studies the traits that are affected in some way by the environment. For example, hair and eye color are traits that are biologically inherited but weight may
be influenced by both biological inheritance and the environment. Genomics is the study of genes and it is the genes that we inherit. Genes are made up of DNA (Hartl
and Jones, 2009). The segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) are genes. DNA was a mystery. Scientists knew it existed but they did not know what it did. They did
know that genetic codes got mixed up, some of which are referred to as genetic mutations, and could result diseases (Harden, 2010b). The Human Genome Project was initiated in
the 1980s. Massive amounts of money were dedicated to mapping the DNA code and the project was completed earlier than thought in 2000 (Harden, 2010c; Sternberg, 2010; Tucker, 2009). Each
gene in the human genome was sequenced. As Harden (2010c) writes, it was a revolution. Different tools were developed that allow scientists to know where a gene is supposed to
be located on a chromosomes and determine if that gene is in the right place or not (Harden, 2010c). As knowledge continues to expand by leaps and bounds, medical scientists
have become capable of changing genets. Genetic research is the latest large area of study in the broader field of genetics. While this research leads to innumerable positive outcomes, there
is also danger and risk. This essay considers both the positive and negative aspects of genetic research. There are many moral and ethical questions related to this research. The
essay considers how to minimize those ethical and moral dilemmas and asks the basic question of whether or not the positive outweighs the negative. Genetics Research and Ethics
