Genetics are the instructions that determine an organism’s appearance and distinct characteristics. Genetic engineering is the science of manipulating genes in some way. There are many different opinions on this subject. Genetic engineering could improve diseases or create a “ designer child”. On the other hand‚ it is not natural ‚could have unintended consequences‚ and is sometimes not viewed as moral. In my opinion‚ genetic modification should not be used to change humans cosmetically ‚but could

This source explains how it has began to start gene editing in animals. It has been discovered that if certain genes from a jelly fish are added to a mouse‚ the mouse will be capable of glowing. They have also discovered that by editing different genes‚ they could make mice stronger‚ or more affectionate. This is important information because it is the beginning of gene editing. Later it talks about what will happen when and if this is tried on humans. Obviously it will have to be perfected before

1. Defeating fatal diseases. Genetic enhancement can make our genes resistant to diseases that can be contracted. There is potential to completely cure the diseases that have currently don not have a known cure such as Cystic Fibrosis by creating a gene to fight it or taking the gene that causes the disease out entirely. 2. Longer life span. Life spans have already gotten significantly longer from decades past due to the medical advancements. Genetic engineering can help prevent the diseases we

Mutation is a change in the nucleotide arrangement of a short locale of a genome. Numerous mutations are point mutations that supplant one nucleotide with another; others include insertion or deletion of one or a couple of nucleotides. Mutations result either from errors in DNA or from the harming impacts of mutagens‚ for example‚ chemicals and radiation‚ which respond with DNA and change the structures of individual nucleotides. All cells possess DNA-repair enzymes that attempt to minimize the

personâ€TMs development can be influenced by personal and external factors‚ for example a personal factor in a child is if a child is in poor health this may have an impact on that childâ€TMs education and development‚ for example a child with cystic fibrosis will not be able to do things that their friends may be able to do like run in the playground and by doing different P.E activities or sports days at school.
