earth where genetic diseases such as autism have been eradicated. No children are born blind‚ deaf or handicapped. An accident victim who looses a limb no longer needs to be handicapped‚ a cancer patient can have his internal organs replaced as they fail‚ an HIV patient can have all new blood he needs. This is a world made possible by genetic engineering and cloning. But is this new technology a gift sent from god for the betterment of humanity? Or is it a test‚ like Pandora’s

response to a socio-scientific issue. The use of IVF and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is the process of identifying genetic defects within an embryo before implantation‚ PGD allows the embryos DNA to be studied for mutations and genetic diseases. Originally PGD was used on female embryos and was used to prevent pregnancy termination in pregnancies with high risks of a sex linked genetic disease. Process The IVF procedure consists of ovarian stimulation

meaningful” (Wald 45). These words were spoken by a Nobel Prize winning biologist and Harvard professor‚ George Wald‚ in a lecture given in 1976 on the Dangers of Genetic Engineering. This quotation states that incredible inventions‚ such as genetic engineering‚ are not always beneficial to society. Genetic engineering is “altering the genetic material of cells and/or organisms in order to make them capable of making new substances or performing new functions” (Wald 45). It is also one of

let µ = E (X). The variance of X can be expressed as: V ar(X) = E X 2 − µ2 7. TRUE For random variables Y and X‚ the variance of Y conditional on X = x is given by: V ar(Y |X = x) = E Y 2 |x − [E (Y |x)]2 8. TRUE An estimator‚ W ‚ of θ is an unbiased estimator if E (W ) = θ for all possible values of θ. 9.

Gattaca challenges the wisdom allowing genetic potential determined from birth to decide the future of an individual? Genetic potential. What does this phrase mean to our society? Simply an aspect of the future to most‚ a mere scientific term that means nothing to some‚ or it could be a devastating reality for others. The film Gataca poses this question and seeks to find the truth behind genetic potential and how it is used to determining the future of an individual. Through the character of Vincent

Statement #3: The difference in IQ test scores between African Americans and non-Hispanic white Americans can be attributed almost entirely to different patterns of socialization and environmental factors. The history of the race and intelligence controversy concerns and focuses on the historical enlargement of a debate‚ mainly in the United States of America‚ with the indication to potential explanations of group differences in scores on intelligence tests or IQ tests.
