How was this innovation at this time? Does it become a basic foundation for treating cancer, by means of genes.
-
That's most likely a behavioral thing than a genetic thing.
-
I'm asking because all of the men on my father's side became alcoholics. It seems genetic. However, I had a genetic study done on my self through a genetics lab and I picked up the best possible genes from both parents, equally.
So, I'm not screwed after all.
-
Ah...I see now. Well, that actually depends whether or not you accept the disease model of addiction. If you do, then you have about a 50/50 chance of being substance dependent. if , on the other hand, you think its genetic, you're, for lack of a better word, screwed.

I just meant that my father drank heavily and smoked heavily and passed away in his 70s. His father lived to be in his late 90s and was also a heavy drinker. My mother is a non smoker/non drinker and she's just now going into her 80s. Her mother lived into her 90s. What chances do I have being a non smoker and moderate drinker?
-
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking...Does the excessive smoking and drinking play a part in your genetics? i would think only if one or both parents were engaged in such behavior at the time of conception. Likewise, perhaps if one's mother did so while in gestation. Otherwise, I don't see how such behavior could effect an offsprings genetic integrity

Fascinating! If I'm comprehending this correctly ( and that's a big if), we are on the last leg of not only developing a cure for cancer, we are nearing genetic immortality. Wow. Wow. Wow. I think I've just had my mind blown.
