MADRID, 23 (EDITION)
The genetic edition can allow us to correct the genetic causes of many diseases, modify the genome of embryos in order for the Nazi babies to be free of diseases. Geen hindernis, has a day, but there is a lot of research that can be done to dominate genomic technology.
This line works the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2001, geneticist, biochemist and president of the British Royal Society Sir Paul Nurse during an interview with Infosalus, who celebrates that, every now and then, scientists are capable of changing the very precise form genes.
“If these methods are to be perfected and secure, then we can use genetic therapy to correct some genetic disorders. Without embarrassment, if the genetic correction is made at the level of the first cell produced in the fertilization of an ovum with sperm“You can have many consequences for the posterior adult and all posterior generations”, advised the principle of Asturias in Communication and Humanities.
And it is that one of the main dudes that hoy in dia torn in torn to the gene therapy on embryos is that, even if the can be freed from a futurmedad, no matter if 100% is known if this mutation can provoke another mutation , which has all the other problems.
For her, Verpleegster, who dedicated his part to his career to discover how the living cells work, it is said that “if a genetic disorder is understood very well and the mutated defect is simply a result of the disease, then this therapy may be justified”. Without embarrassment, it is advised that “we do not intend to suffic enough to make this a safe procedure”.
Exactly, Paul Nurse acaba to publish in Spain ‘What is life’? (Planeta), a manual for “explaining some of the great ideas in Biology of those that have not been mentioned”.
With this, it means that in order to understand what it means to be alive, it has to understand the 5 great ideas of Biology that he defines in his book: “The cell, which is the atom of Biology and is the basic unit of all life; the gen , which is the basis of herenia; evolution by natural selection, the great idea of Charles Darwin that all living organisms evolve by natural selection, that they may require a proposal acting as a whole; life as chemistry, and life as information “.
¿CUÁNDO SURGE EL SER HUMANO?
In his opinion, if all these ideas can be compared with the principles to define life. “His lives are limited to physical entities such as chemical, physical, and informative machines. These allow you to maintain, create, and reproduce. These properties are combined with a hering system that exhibits variability that allows organisms to live by natural selection. Well, there is no single quality that can define life, it is a combination of all the anteriors “, said the English geneticist.
Here Nurse values also that it is “quite extraordinary” that a human being can surpass a single cell: “It means that we must think more in the cells because its basic unit that sustains all life. Inside the first cell of a human being produced in conception, there are all the instructions that are necessary to possibly make a human being. “It is clear that this is not a step in the right direction.”
Asked by the reasons why we approach our fathers or relatives, the English scientist maintains that the reason is mainly due to the genes that are transmitted from our fathers to our fathers and our fathers. “It conducts the constancy in the genetic composition of the generations, but with variability. Surge because different gene combinations are mezclan between generations, and also can surge mutations in their genes. For this reason, each person is unique except for the identical spouses, although they may also have mutations that cause differences “, according to the opinion.
We also specify that all aspects of our life are determined in part by our genes and in part by the entourage in what we create: “This includes behavior and our action has the life. Some characteristics are more determined by the genes and more for the medium environment “.
