Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a prenatal diagnosis specifically for parents with a high risk of producing an offspring with a serious genetic disorder. This is a socio scientific issue as there are many viewpoints and opinion surrounding this topic. PGD is only permitted if there is a 25% chance of inheritance of the serious condition or if there is a high chance of inheriting chromosome abnormalities which is associated to recurrent miscarriages or advanced maternal age.

Genetic engineering is the scientific manipulation of genes in order to modify the offspring of an organism. It may work with plants‚ humans or other animals. However‚ the various forms of this technology have led many to argue that the manipulation of genes constitutes a threat to humans and disturb the delicate balance of biodiversity which exists in nature. The main concern of human genetic engineering is that it may possibly change the genetic characteristics of unborn babies. It is widely

or work. They also control the manufacture of proteins in a cell. There are about 35 000 genes found in almost every healthy cell. Scientists are constantly conducting experiments on genes. Genetic modification is one of such experiments. Genetic modification refers to the deliberate alteration of the genetic structure or DNA of an organism in order to give it new abilities and produce a desired effect. Organisms that are modified with DNA from another organism are called transgenic. Scientists have

It could be coming up with baby names‚ wondering if he/she is going to look like mom or dad‚ and hoping that your baby is born completely healthy. All of these aspects of living come from bringing life into this world. (State position) Making your baby as you vision it in your head
