My Ancestors Did What to Their DNA?

An alternate title for this article could be “The Science of Genetics and Its Endless Possibilities”.

Calling All Geneticists! All Scientists! Or Anyone Who Knows!

It all started when James Bond ended up in Cuba!

Watched a James Bond movie and one of the characters had undergone genetic therapy in Cuba. More specifically, he had undergone DNA replacement therapy that changed him into a completely different person. Are you a wanted criminal? Well, forget about plastic surgery. DNA replacement is the way to go!

OK. Here’s the problem I have with that.

Suppose you were doing research on your family tree?

Suppose one of your ancestors underwent gene replacement therapy?

The guy in the James Bond film went from being BORN North Korean to being REPLACED/RECREATED British!!

It’s a valid question.

Especially considering the significant impact the response could also on have on crime-solving.

Does anybody know the answer?
