will drastically change and a possible revolution in genetic engineering promises a new day for all of us. A world in which we would be able to choose our children’s physical appearance‚ cognitive abilities‚ and aptitudes would not be a thing of the past anymore. These twisting complexities of our human life will not just be an easy switch. It is not something that will just come about with no major repercussions or serious consequences. Genetic engineering will have a tremendous impact on our lives

The human as host–microbe supraorganism. A win-win situation? At the dawn of microscopy‚ the 17th century Dutch scientist Antony van Leeuwenhoek used his crudely built microscope to view magnified scrapings of his own dental plaque: “I then most always saw‚ with great wonder‚ that in the said matter there were many very little living animalcules‚ very prettily a-moving. The biggest sort… had a very strong and swift motion‚ and shot through the water (or spittle) like a pike does through the water…”

Human Genetic Engineering Human Genetic Engineering can be very productive towards advancing our society‚ but like every 2 steps forward you have to take a step back. Of course‚ Human Genetic Engineering is complex in all of the good and bad of its research‚ why would anything be simple? As it goes with most research that goes towards our advancement‚ i.e. Embryotic Stem Cells‚ religious people tend to disagree with the scientists. As the scientists tend to disagree with the logicians and logicians

Causes of disease in humans A disease is usually a medical condition that affects the body of an organism. In humans‚ disease is often broadly used to refer to any condition that causes pain‚ dysfunction‚ distress or death to the person affected. In this sense‚ it sometimes includes injuries‚ disabilities‚ disorders‚ syndromes‚ infections‚ etc. The most common cause of disease in humans is via pathogens; microorganisms such as viruses‚ bacteria‚ protozoa‚ and fungi that cause disease in humans and

Non-communicable Diseases Introduction Greeting my fellow classmates and a happy holiday. As the name implies‚ non-communicable diseases are those diseases that cannot pass from one individual to another individual‚ these diseases include coronary heart disease‚ stomach ulceration‚ stroke‚ ischemic diseases‚ neuropsychiatric diseases‚ cancer‚ cardiovascular diseases‚ diabetes etc. Previously‚ in our community we referred to these diseases as the “rich man” diseases‚ because it was the diseases of

Disease is a disorder or malfunction of the mind or body‚ which leads to a departure from good health. Can be a disorder of a specific tissue or organ due to a single cause. E.g. malaria. May

Negative Although genetic engineering may seem like the key to a healthy‚ disease free population not enough is known about genetic engineering‚ and human genes to make it safe. The human genome is very complicated‚ often times one sequence of genes has control over multiple different physical attributes of a person‚ this means that by altering one gene sequence scientists could very easily accidentally alter multiple different attributes of humans. Also scientists have discovered that even when
