The inheritance of life is filled with joy, yet it also carries risks. It is undeniable that "genes and genetics" play a most crucial role in this. Another factor that cannot be ignored, yet which the general public can exert more control over, is the "environmental factors" related to the quality of the life being carried. Genes have a rather subtle and interdependent relationship with humans, and their mysteries have always been a subject of intense desire for understanding, as well as further mastery and utilization to create the well-being of all. Although there is still a long way to go to achieve this noble goal, it has made genetics one of the fastest-growing sciences in contemporary times.
