Because of the policy, technology, talent and other reasons, the genetic examination is still in a &ldquo in China; the stage of the newborn “ Many friends around me, for the examination of gene technology mostly hold the same attitude, they face the &ldquo gene detection; &rdquo the first reaction of prophetic vision; similar: “ I don't want to know, I think I should try to enjoy life, rather than worrying. ” it reminds me of Alfonso Fochler J's view of the prophet Te Risi Aas, who can predict the future, but in the end it has no ability to change it. So he lamented, "“ if wisdom does not benefit people, it is painful to be a wise man." ”
But are we really like Te Risi Aas?
.
At present, I believe that most people are very convinced of regular physical examination, because it can play a role in preventing disease to some extent. In fact, the disease susceptibility gene physical examination can also play this role, but the two are reflected in different stages. It is well known that a disease will take a long time from beginning to onset. Gene checkup is a healthy stage of human being and a major disease that may happen in the future. Such as: early, middle, and so on, this belongs to the second stages of detection, which is the category of clinical medicine.
Therefore, in many cases, genetic risk prediction can bring us benefits of personal health. Knowing the mystery of DNA is not only a cool thing, it can also become a strategy to ensure health and improve the quality of life. Because it not only gives us a better chance of prevention and treatment, and Study on the interactions between genetic risk and environmental risk is also clearly pointed out that environmental change has important influence on our health, which will make everyone have the opportunity to better monitor and adjust their own living environment, to enhance the probability of health care or rehabilitation the.
So, why do they think it is a kind of &ldquo gene examination; over ” behavior? For a long time, everyone has a view that I am healthy as long as I don't get sick. But once the diagnosis is correct or not, we will accept a standardized set of treatment. Under the influence of this traditional concept, the easiest thing to be ignored is the human body itself, unless a “ part ” a problem.
Think of this picture: in the future, your DNA sequence will become a permanent part of your electronic medical record after proper encryption, and it will be used for a series of decisions, such as prescription, diagnosis and disease prevention for professional medical staff. When you are sick, there will be more ways and means to choose, many of which come from new understanding of human genome science and technology. These methods are more effective and less side effects than traditional methods. At that time, it might be possible that many treatments would be tablets, but there was also gene therapy. In this case, the gene itself became an effective drug.
