Those who want to Enroll at UC-Berkeley need more than just transcripts and SAT scores when applying. Applicants will go through cotton swab and 2 bar code stickers. Those who would like to take an DNA test will be given the option to do so. The DNA test will be tested for three genes, its results will reveal how strong one students ability is to resist alcohol and metabolize folic lactose and acid.
All the information will be kept in a secret database. It is for their own good so one can change lifestyle and diets. In previous enrollments, students have been asked to read journals and books about lifestyle and behaviour.
“This type of experience is one of the true, unique values of a Berkeley education. We don’t just give you books to read. We involve you in cutting edge issues in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. You won’t see this anywhere else in higher education.” Said Mark Schlissel, Dean of the Division of Biological Sciences.
Questions arise as Universities nowadays require more and more from their students. Not everyone would like your personal DNA to be put in a database, even though they say its kept confidential. Who knows if those DNA data will be used in future testing.
