Choose a mate based on DNA

In the future, women and men may rely on each other's compatibility to choose their partners rather than relying on love. The prediction was made by the scientist Armand Leroi at Imperial College London (UK) at a European scientific conference held in Ireland from 11-15 July, according to the Telegraph.

The prediction was made by the scientist Armand Leroi at Imperial College London (UK) at a European scientific conference held in Ireland from 11-15 July, according to the Telegraph.

Professor Leroi said the cost of testing a person's genetic map has dropped significantly, from $ 1 billion a decade ago to $ 4,000.

Young people will choose partners with genetic maps

Leroi affirmed that with the cost of genetic mapping, young people will spend money to check their genetic maps within the next 5 or 10 years.

Since then, maintaining a healthy breed will make them want to see the genetic map of the person they want to be their partner later.

When genetic information is obtained, the couple may conduct in vitro fertilization to see if the child has an incurable disease.

Professor Leroi said that people are unable to use the technique to create a perfect baby according to their wishes but can prevent genetic diseases.
