Estonia, which is located in Eastern Europe, has 1.3 million people. Recently, the Estonian Government had considered that they will give free genetic testing to 100K Estonian citizens, but some people don’t know about the testing and its usefulness for health. In general, gene testing usually tests human’s DNA. However, testing a human’s gene has been disputed because it is a new medical technique. Some people support this new thing because they can know about the health of the whole family; other people oppose this new thing because it will affect their medical history and cost a lot of money. In my opinion, Estonian government should test human DNA because it can know about the future health of their family and easily know about any sickness …show more content…

The result is helpful because it can know if the families have defective genes or not, or if they should have a child.Testing genetics has been spread to many countries to know and decide their family future. For example, doctors want to make experient of testing genes of many Estonian families which have a child, whether they have defective genes to decide if there should have more children or not. They use a complex machine to testing 23 chromosomes, including the shape. If they have a defective gene, they may decide they will not have a child or have fewer children with defective sickness. If their (Estonian) family doesn’t have any problems in the genes, so the family can expand to next generation. As a result, gene testing can improve their population of Estonia. Therefore, if Estonia Government does testing genes, they can know about the families’
