However there are many disadvantages to DNA testing‚ such as a challenge of accuracy‚ the costs of DNA testing and the possible misuse of DNA. The prospect of a national DNA database in Australia has been heavily criticised with complaints of invasion of privacy and stigma against those with terminal diseases. Deoxyribonucleic

Genetic Engineering and Morality As advancements in technology and science continue to rapidly grow‚ we as a society face issues with the morality of some of these advancements. One of the biggest issues at hand today is that of genetic engineering. The question we must answer is whether or not it should be morally permissible for parents to create their children using genetic engineering so that they may provide them with particularly desirable traits? Although this may seem like a fabulous idea

These differences give us variety whether we are talking about humans‚ animals‚ insects‚ or plants. These same differences can cause issues over time‚ however. When we discuss genetic diversity it involves mutations‚ sexual reproduction‚ migration‚ and population size. All four of these factors add to the variety

There has been a long-drawn-out debate about the benefits of testing in education. Despite the conflicting data‚ I believe that testing is beneficial to students. In comparison to other countries‚ the United States scores remarkably lower worldwide than one might expect. Education is an intrinsic part of being successful. I believe that testing course material is beneficial to students because frequent testing can improve learning‚ it aids in later retention of the information‚ and improves meta-cognitive
