A group of scientists began to work on the project, first of its kind in the world, and caused widespread disputes about the creation of artificial human DNA.
According to the British network “Bi -Bi -x”, the study was prohibited from the years of fears that this could lead to unexpected changes for future generations.
Nevertheless, now, the Wilcum Medical medical organization, the largest medical charitable organization in the world, donated the initial amount of 10 million pounds to start the project, which states that its benefits exceed its damage, since it can accelerate the treatment of a number of incurable diseases.
D -r Julian cell from the laboratory of the Council of Medical Research on Molecular Biology in Cambridge, which is involved in the project, said that the study is a giant leap in biology.
He added: “There are no restrictions in our capabilities. We are looking for treatment methods that improve people’s lives with age and lead to healthy aging, with low diseases. “
He indicated that they strive to use this approach to create cells that protect the disease that can be used to restore damaged organs, for example, in the liver and heart, as well as the immune system.
A new study depends on the “Human Genoma Project”, which was completed 25 years ago and allowed scientists to read human DNA, as if it were a symbol of the “bar -code” tape.
The new goal goes further, since she not only wants to read the genome, but also to build DNA from scratch.
But critics fear that this study will lay the way to improve or genetically modified people.
One of these critics said; He is Dr. Thomas, director of the campaign “outside the genetic amendment”: “We tend to believe that all scientists are present in order to do good, but science can be associated with damage for the purpose of war,” warning about the possibility of abuse of the use of Maria in parties.
