    It is believed that genetic variation is caused by a variety of factors which may include natural selection and mating patterns. With the results from the Blanding’s Turtle experiment‚ who are listed as an endangered species‚ the topic of genetic diversity and genetic variation will further be discussed and researched. Genetic variation describes genetic differences among individuals of the same species. In a population‚ it is derived from a wide assortment of genes and alleles. This variation

    Scientists are capable of understanding the genetic bases of human diseases and non-diseases. They want to marketing embryo selection of genetics to expecting mother’s to prevent future diseases. By manipulating the DNA of an embryo‚ parents will be able to enhance athletic‚ cosmetic and cognitive traits; forming an enhanced human species. Altering human genetics commodifies human life and threatens to divide society. Genetic modification of human beings is unacceptable because this would cause

    most acceptable reason given for genetic engineering is its potential use in preventative medicine. A few cells from an embryo could be genetically analyzed to detect harmful mutation or predisposition towards disorder‚ at which point action could be taken either through somatic cell or germ-line gene modification. In 1993‚ the gene that causes Huntington’s Disease was located‚ and scientists are currently trying to determine its normal function (The Benefits of Genetic Engineering). Assuming researchers
