What if you could genetically modify your future children to have any trait. We all want our children to be healthy‚ smart and or athletic. Some want to have the most perfect child‚ but they should know that genetically modify them is almost like playing the role of God‚ and when playing the role of God things usually go wrong. First‚ we will look at the procedure of genetically modifying our children and it’s risk‚ Secondly‚ we see what problems there are. So let’s start with the procedure. The

Together Specter and Gawande both touch upon science‚ journalism and public policies in their own style. Gawande writes about science that has already been proven to be beneficial but slow at implementation. Antisepsis‚ anesthesia‚ kangaroo care and oral rehydration were all researched‚ experimented and proven to be the best solution for each pressing problem. Although people doubted the actual use of each treatment‚ they could not argue with scientific facts of benefits. On the contrary‚ Specter

Genetic Test The genetic test will revolutionize the way of knowing and diagnosing the disease by studying the genes. So‚ many people might advocate it in order to improve the treatments and the health technology. I think the genetic test can make my life worse. Knowing the diseases that might you get in the future will have negative impacts. This might get me cranky and worried about the future. I will not get any benefits by knowing the disease. Some people might say that you can change your

Biomedical engineering is a very broad kind of engineering‚ comprised of many elements. There are several different topics to research more in depth‚ like tissue engineering‚ genetic engineering‚ building prosthesis or even making artificial organs. Artificial organ building is an advanced technology to help improve the quality of life‚ but has many ethical arguments many people do not agree with. Dr. Alan Flake is the leader of a project at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia‚ where they are

Identical twins? No‚ clones. Cloning is the production of an identical copy of a cell or organism (Rugnetta). One company involved in the process and experimentation of cloning was Clonaid‚ a human cloning company whose initial goal was to “achieve eternal youth by cloning themselves and transferring their personalities into their clones” (Farrell and Carson-Dewitt 1). In the year 2003‚ they claimed to have created the first human clone‚ a baby girl named Eve (Farrell and Carson-Dewitt 1). Since

Consent The basic building blocks for all living things are cells. Most cells cannot be seen by the human eye‚ but they play a massive role in life because they make up tissue‚ which develops into an organism (What Is a Cell?). These organisms include humans and humans study cells in order to fix physical damage done to the human body and create cures for diseases‚ and disabilities (Why Cell Biology is So Important?). Therefore‚ cell research provides medical benefits‚ but it also creates a rising

Rudolph Virchow was married in 1850 and had six children‚ four daughters and two sons. Both of his sons were scientists.

have a place in 2016. I am against germline gene therapy because it is too early for human research‚ we as the science community do not know enough about the process of how genes control phenotypic expression‚ and if the technology to edit germline cells would be leaked to the public it could create an entirely new social inequality. Before I go into depth as to why this new type of therapy does not belong‚ allow me to tell you a little about the topic. You may be wondering what germline gene therapy
