The advances of Reproductive Assistance Technologies (ARTs), such as In vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) have established a broad platform for debate, which until recently has focused mostly on the moral permissibility of using these technologies for the detection of non-disease genes, those which cause a physical or psychological state not associated with disease, such as sex and tissue type (Stoller 2008, 364). However, in his article “Procreative Beneficence: Why we should select the best children” Savulescu widened the scope of this debate, arguing that the use of PGD in this manner is not only morally acceptable but a moral obligation for prospective parents. He contends that all genetic information, both disease and non-disease, should be utilised to ensure prospective parents have the best child that it is possible for them to have. This essay argues that Savulescu is incorrect in his assertion that prospective parents should have the best child it is possible for them to have and his Principle of Procreative Beneficence (PPB) should therefore be rejected for a number of reasons. Firstly, the principle indirectly, yet unavoidably, impacts on various aspects of the reproductive autonomy of prospective parents and is therefore immoral in what it advocates. Secondly, since PPB has its theoretical foundation in the notion of impersonal harm (Bennett 2009, 266), and requires parents to become complacent with oppression of minority groups, it unavoidably parallels the motives of the “old” eugenics of the 1930’s (Sparrow 2007, 51). Finally, Savulescu not only over exaggerates the moral obligation parents have toward their children in his account of PPB, but also fails to adequately prove that his believed moral obligation truly exists, and thus his argument loses its credibility with prospective parents.…
Enrollment is the process of entering and verifying data of student to register on a particular school. Different interrelated processes build up enrollment procedures called Enrollment System (ES). ES are used particularly in recording and retrieving student’s information. Tracking student’s information is also one feature of ES, in which the school can trace the standing of a student. Verifying payments was also added to update or browse student’s billings.…
The Ponciano Bernardo High School desires a new automated online enrollment and information system that would perform its enrollment processes and student-faculty access system that should produce its management report in a more efficient and faster way. There are six estimated actors expected to use or interact with the system namely student applicants, students, faculty, head department, cashier/registrar and mainly the administrator.…
Enrollment is the process of enlisting student’s data pertaining to their personal information, school requirements, and school records. A Computerized Enrollment System is a system that enables its registrar’s office of a certain school to serve student’s fast. It helps them to enroll a student in a short matter of time. It also provides the security of data and lessens data redundancy. This also lessens the hassle of long line of waiting during enrollment period.…

The Computerized Enrolment System was proposed in replacement of the manual process of enrollment in public high schools for it to have an organized flow of transaction and an ease of work. The study is concerned on how the manual enrolment performs throughout the company’s transaction. The numerous transactions that the manual system covers, such as updating and adding student records, generating the advising and assessment slips, and the like…

The purpose of this study was to design a computerized enrolment system for a rural- based higher education institution and to find out its acceptability in terms of construction design and functionality. The computerized enrolment system was developed using the software Visual Basic, an Object-Oriented Programming visualization tool. The result of the study revealed that the Enrolment System is “Very Acceptable” as evaluated by the selected faculty members and staff of the school. In the light of the present findings and conclusions, the following recommendations are advanced, namely, that this enrolment system should be introduced to the school; that it should be adopted by the school to help the staff find records of students more easily and faster and the system should be utilized as a model for future research, especially for technology or computer-related research studies.…
