Hi Tina.

There are some obvious benefits to understanding and expanding our understanding of DNA. Targeted treatments are one example. Do you see any downsides? Leaving out the popular discussion around designer babies.

December the 22nd 2000 was ours. I empathize. I'm sorry for your loss. Fathers are second place in these situations and I understand why, but we feel loss and because we're second place, we feel lost. I felt like I didn't have the same rights of grief and then felt guilty for feeling that way. It's tough. I'm sorry friend. Did you feel the same in any respect?

Absolutely. The reason I asked is because I don't see a downside, nor the dystopia that gets propagated. It's great hearing that from you, so thank you very much. Have a fantastic weekend.

What sort of time frame do you see for targeted treatments based on DNA mapping? Are we talking 20, 30, 40 years? I believe it is in its infancy, but it would be great to get your perspective. Me again. Sorry.

EDIT: I mean commercially viable treatments.
