My interest in Biomedical Science came about around four years ago when my dad was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He was treated with an intense course of chemotherapy and during this time it had me thinking about how and why a mutation in a cell can grow and cause a tumour and also how chemotherapy treatment can destroy the mutated cells (along with some healthy cells) and cause a person to have side effects such as skin discolouration‚ hair loss‚ loss of appetite and a lowered immune system

Many people elicit fear‚ even outrage when asked if genetically altering who we are is ethical. Biomedical enhancements are already here‚ so just saying no isn’t an answer.

A consistent biomedical ethics dilemma is the question of whether or not it is ever morally justifiable for a doctor to lie to a patient. There is a broad range of cases to which this question can be applied. At one end‚ there are situations in which the issue is so trivial there is no need for discussion; for example‚ telling a patient their request will be “no problem” although it may be quite time consuming and work intensive. At the other end are emergency cases in which telling the truth could
