DNA
conservation

Why should we conserve our DNA?

When you upgrade, do you backup?

Here is the DNA double helix today
	Genetic Engineering, to cut off diseases, correct mutations, for your own health and longevity, or for your children survival, will do this: It will add a third strand, introduced by an artificial Virus Vector which will repair, or use similar method

This future is already a fact in laboratories,
and before flagrant mutations occur
Ethics will not shrink back.

Since DNA alteration is PROBABLE
It is recommended to backup,
it is wise to CONSERVE the present DNA
.

Yet there may be an another measure

Technology allows rapid and cheap analysis.

Does DNA analysis suffice, rather that conservation?

There is the same difference between a person and its picture
than between a material molecule and its analysis.

Moreover the current analysis are very rudimentary and its method is very new. They only access to a tiny quantity of the whole DNA data, and many years will be necessary for getting an exhausting count of the individual DNA.
In other words, except for some urgent procedures, the conservation is the best way to benefit the full DNA data, when an analysis is requiered, by the most evolved technologies. It is also obviously the only way to keep the matter itself, which may conceal fields which are beyond the analysable data.
