Response; DNA Test Gives Students Ethnic Shocks

I think DNA tests to help discover your genetic make-up are interesting. They have the power to reveal certain disease that you might be subject too, and allow you to possibly take preventions against them. Although they have a medical use, I do not think they have the power to change how you feel about yourself, or at least they shouldn’t. It can, however, change the way the feel about other people. People, who have certain issues or prejudices toward certain races, sometimes learn that they are in fact a part of that race, sometimes a large part. This knowledge can help them understand that racial prejudices are wrong, and can make them a more understanding rounded person. I think genetic profiling shows how multi cultural all of us really are, and will definitely bring many people together in many ways they didn’t think possible.
