Can genetic testing really predict a child's "talent"?
With the intensification of social competition, parents pay more and more attention to their children's education. Children begin early education when they are less than one year old, and they begin to cultivate their own specialties when they are less than three years old. They signed up for various extra-long classes and remedial classes as soon as they entered primary school ... Parents want their children to have a skill. It is this educational demand that has created a huge market for genetic testing of children's talents. However, children's genetic testing, a high-tech health service project, has encountered many obstacles once it came out.

The continuous development of biotechnology has laid the foundation for the application and popularization of gene detection technology. However, as a high-tech health service product, it is not easy to really enter the public life. Once the children's genetic testing service project was launched, it was consulted and concerned by many parents. But at the same time, some businesses' over-packaging of the project has also caused some public debates. The representative views are as follows:

First, children's education should develop freely and naturally, with proper guidance and no need for genetic testing;

Second, the theory of "man can conquer nature" holds that a child's talent can be cultivated and should not be limited by genes;

Third, genetic testing technology is not popular, and it is not safe and reliable to apply it to children;

Fourth, don't worry too much about your child's talent, as long as you can grow up healthily.

However, what is the actual situation? Children are still growing helplessly under the arrangement and "indoctrination" of adults. As Einstein, a great scientist, said, "Children are born geniuses, but often in their years of seeking knowledge, the wrong educational methods kill their talents." Compared with guessing, speculating or measuring children's specialties according to their own standards, genetic testing provides a more scientific auxiliary reference.

Now, children are facing more and more fierce competition. On the one hand, parents are very concerned about the healthy growth of their children. On the other hand, they have many expectations for their children's future. The contradiction between the two not only embarrassed parents, but also restricted the healthy growth of children. In fact, most parents still hope to make their children's future life smoother through education, so that their children can live their own lives independently and do what they are good at and like.

It is hoped that the genetic testing of children's talents can help parents predict their children's talent potential from the origin of genes, solve the problem of blind education, lay a solid foundation for the extensive application of subsequent genetic testing, spread biotechnology to the public, and truly popularize life sciences.
