** [|One club wants to use a gene-test to spot the new Ronaldo. Is this football's future?]  ** This article made me think about if I have these genes that help determine if I will be a professional athlete. Although I’m sure that these scientists can’t know 100 percent for sure, they could get a pretty good idea about whether I have these genes. If someone does have these genes, than I’m sure that someone would raise them and train them so that they could be one of these stars. Doing all of these genetic tests could be an unfair advantage to all of the other teams out there not doing this. Even though doing this is a little unfair, if this didn’t happen, than someone who couldn’t afford the training required would never get a shot at a good life. This formula was originally discovered in mice by Dr. Henning Wackerhage. These soccer clubs that have the access to these tests will spend tons and tons of money trying to find the next greatest soccer player and then they will end up paying millions of dollars just to sign this player. Just because someone is the most talented young athlete doesn’t mean that they will be the most talented at the highest level of a sport. So really, this is just a gamble that these clubs are taking on a player when they could just go to Las Vegas and waste all that money on a slot machine. Aaron Harting March 8, 2011
