The weird human genome

My weird way of thinking – my weird gene sequence: I am reading every day almost 12 hours. I know I am an international student and I am not complaining but I got really confused with tomorrow’s readings. I should almost say today’s readings. Are the hours that I spend reading? Is the language? Is Donna Haraway? Is my mind which I am seriously starting to believe that either stopped working or moved away? Is my weird Greek genome sequence? Is it my race? Who knows? Who knows in which race group I belong know? Who can give me an answer to what race is today? What are the characteristics that put somebody in a race group? Are the external characteristics, which means the color of our hair or our eyes, or the internal characteristics, which means our genes?

The powerful genes: It is very strange because we don’t see the genes but there are actually responsible in a way for what we are and what we aren’t. A few chemical molecules joined together in different ways. Is this really what we are? A bunch of molecules joined together? And if we are lucky enough to inherit good genes from our parents then those powerful invisible to the human eye molecules can make as Marilyn Monroe or Einstein or if we are super lucky a combination of the two? Then who cares in which race we belong.

The pure gene sequence: According to Derrida nothing is perfect. Nothing is pure. So I was wondering is our genome perfect? Is it pure? If the scientists are looking for the flaws does that means that it isn’t pure? If they are looking for the differences between the human genomes do they really looking in to what it gives us value? And when I say value I mean our real basic value as human beings. Does the fact that maybe our genome is not pure change the value of our value? Is a pure value better than a real one? But if our genetic sequence says our history, where we come from, from the times that human race started to exist when humans were pure, uncontaminated, because we had to be uncontaminated in the beginning, doesn’t that mean that the genome has something pure in it? Doesn’t that mean that it has something perfect? And if we say that it hasn’t, don’t you believe that it has a way to show as how we can make it perfect? Make it pure? And if our past isn’t the one that shows the scientists how to do it, if we eventually find out how it works, how those molecules interact, then wouldn’t be easy to find a way to make our genome perfect as our imaginary inexistent perfect ideal. Don’t the scientists looking exactly how to do that today? [|Imagine!!!]

Our future genome: Ok we can make it perfect. But will it be pure? Uncontaminated? And if no one has any genome flaws in the future, what would be the deference with the others people perfect genome? Will the human value exist without any difference?
