Due to significant advances in biotechnology, experts predict that within years, doctors will be able to trace the genetic roots of common medical problems such as depression and bi-polar syndrome. As a result, some physicians predict that these conditions and others like them will be all but eliminated through early identification and genetic therapy.
The argument above is based most heavily upon which of the following assumptions?
A) There is one and only one strategy for eliminating common medical problems such as depression.
B) Common medical problems such as depression are based entirely on treatable genetic malformations.
C) Within years, genetics will be the only important scientific field in detecting and treating common medical problems such as depression.
D) Every member of the human race has at least one genetic defect.
E) Each human defect or sickness can be traced in part to genetics.
I could not understand conclusion. I made past of the conclusion in blue.
