Tranformation of the Medical Industry Due to Advances in...

Over the years, medical industry has shaped and transformed due to the recent advance in technology. It affects how we live and what we fear disease wise. With the incredible technology we have now we’ve been able to gather more research about ourselves, like our DNA and cells. We’ve been able to clone, create artificial organs, re-write our traits and even predict what we might have in the cancer. We can also make designer drugs, and how much better the market for them can get over time. With technology advancing every day of our lives soon we’d be able to create whole humans with different functions born to do certain things, literally. DNA is known as deoxyribonucleic acid. Deoxyribonucleic acid is a self-replicating material that is known to be in almost every living organism. DNA is shaped like a twisted double helix and is composed of long strands; sugars, phosphate groups as well as nitrogenous bases. This is organized into structures called chromosomes and placed within the nucleus of our cells. DNA contains our genetic information needed for the production of our other cells productions. The history of genetic research began with Gregor Mendel or the â€Å"Father of Genetics†. His study of plants and reproduction brought interest to the study of genetics. Around the same time as Gregor had conducted his studies, Friedrich Miescher discovered a substance called â€Å"nuclein†, he isolated a sample of what we know now as DNA. After his findings, his pupil, Richard Altman,
