This novel technology affects our family life, the way societies function, the nature of our planet and even how we see ourselves. From discovering our ancestry, to genetic selection of our partners and children, through our healthcare, justice systems, the food on our plates, access to jobs, insurance and education, and including the existential threat to our planet, genetics is having a transformative impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese advances in DNA science are progressing at a breathtaking rate, providing both dramatic benefits and some serious societal consequences.\u003c\/strong\u003e The advances, often combined with advances in artificial intelligence, raise complex ethical, personal and societal issues.
