I know families who are already living in this reality.
我知道這在有些家庭中已經實現了。
The Daniels family, for example, set up a DNA lab in the basement of their suburban Chicago home.
例如丹尼爾斯一家，在芝加哥郊區的家庭地下室建立了一個DNA實驗室。
This is not a family made of PhD scientists. This is a family like any other.
這不是一個由博士科學家組成的家庭。這只是一個再普通不過的家庭。
They just like to spend time together doing fun, creative things.
他們只是喜歡花時間在一起做有趣的、有創造性的事情。
By day, Brian is an executive at a private equity firm.
白天，布萊恩是私人股票基金公司的一個經理。
At night and on weekends, he experiments with DNA alongside his kids, ages seven and nine, as a way to explore the living world.
晚上和周末，他和7歲和9歲的孩子一起，進行他們的DNA實驗，把這視為一種探索世界的方式。
Last time I called them, they were checking out homegrown produce from the backyard garden.
上次我打電話給他們的時候，他們檢查了后院花園里自家種植的農產品。
They were testing tomatoes that they had picked, taking the flesh of their skin, putting it in a test tube,
他們測試了采摘的西紅柿，提取它們表皮上的果肉，放進試管中，
mixing it with chemicals to extract DNA and then using their home DNA copier to test those tomatoes for genetically engineered traits.
用化學藥劑混合提取DNA，然后使用他們自家的DNA復印機來測試那些西紅柿的轉基因性狀。
For the Daniels family, the personal DNA machine is like the chemistry set for the 21st century.
對于丹尼爾斯一家來說，個人DNA檢測器就像針對21世紀設計的化學實驗。
Most of us may not yet be diagnosing genetic conditions in our kitchen sinks or doing at-home paternity testing.
我們大多數人可能還沒有在自家廚房的水槽中做過任何基因檢測，或者家庭親子鑒定測試。
