I would first like to say that as interesting as the history of the genome seems, I wish that we could have gotten more out of Dr.Dunston. Her presentation wasn't what I was expecting I thought that I would learn a lot more about the genomes than I did, and how it affects and helps us develop into the people we are. Also, Dr.Dunston is a greatly respected and achieved woman, but during this presentation it really wasn't clear what she was trying to get across to us.
I was also hoping to get to the actual presentation, when I went back and looked at her power point I learned more than I did during the class session. In the power point is the statement,
"Genome-based knowledge is challenging current concepts of health, life, and human identity, and in the process informing and facilitating human transformation."The power point also discusses The National Human Genome Center (NHGC) at Howard University, something that I would have personally liked to learn more about during the class discussion.178The power point also discusses the Paradigm Shift which discusses:
Medical vs Biology
Disorder Order/Process
What's Wrong What's Right
Isolated Parts Integrated Systems
Disease Health
Death and dying Life and living
To me this was kind of like a chart of right and wrong/good and bad, this would have been another very interesting topic to me. With that being said I wish I learned more from and understood more of Dr.Dunston's presentation.
