I was reading an article on yahoo news and it was titled Janpan Scientists Link Strokes to Gene Variant. It is amazing how much we know about genes and the body and how it all works. The gene PRKCH was found more often in stroke victems of the Asian decent. They also had higher levels of the PKC-Eta enzyme. People with the gene PRKCH are more likly to suffer from a stroke and have to be monitored to prevent having a stroke. The gene is found less in people of the European and African decent.
If we go back in time just fifty years and compare what we knew then to what we know now the difference would be drastic.
I personaly have mixed feelings about genentics. I don't think it should be used for cloneing but to understand its make up and how to prevent illnesses in people who would have a high tendency for a disease is fine with me.
