Marshaee’ Knowles Prenatal Genetic Testing Many medical advances are being made today in the area of genetics. One of the most talked about is prenatal genetic testing. The purpose of prenatal genetic testing is to obtain information on a baby’s health before they are born. This new technology will definitely improve the quality of human life. Diseases will be diminished and through new advances some diseases might even be eliminated. Children will be at less risk to have major health problems

I think that there are going to be a lot of new changes in the upcoming millennium. I think the change that will have the biggest impact will be genetic engineering. One side of genetic engineering will be that parents will be allowed to chose the outcome of their baby. Another side is cloning. I think the biggest part will be correcting DNA to get rid of diseases. That could also be a part of choosing your baby because you could fix any problems before it is even born. I think the

In the movie‚ parents can choose their children’s abilities before they born. Genetic manipulation is common. With this people try to get rid of disease genetics. If a person born in natural ways‚ they call them ‘‘invalid’’. ‘‘Invalid’’ people do not have some rights compared with other born with genetic manipulation. It can also be called eugenics

Abstract Human behavioral traits or personality are commonly referred to as ones individuality‚ of which is generally considered to be influenced and developed by the environment.

Holoprosencephaly or HPE is a genetic disorder that affects the brain‚ face‚ and sometimes the body. This genetic mutation is present while the child is still in the embryonic stage of development in the mother’s womb. The most identifiable mutation is caused by the addition of chromosome thirteen or trisomy thirteen. In other cases HPE is caused by abnormalities in the genes SHH‚ SIX3‚ TGIF‚ ZIC2‚ PTCH1‚ FOXH1‚ NODAL‚ CDON‚ and GLI2. These genes play an important role in the embryo’s development
