The discovery of DNA has been called the most biological work of the last 100 years. It has already had and will continue to have an enormous influence on our lives. We have already experienced the benefits in many years. Part 2 Story A How was John Water judged guilty?He left some of his own cells on his victim. Scientists compared the DNA from these cells with the DNA from these cells with the DNA of people they had questioned. Story B How did Mike and Julia have a good Looking,very intelligent child ? Julia had a small but very expensive operation, using a technology called genetic engineering. Story C How did Mark Sawyer become a world championagain?

Stories B and C will become possible in the near future.
