When one thinks of the word Barbie in their brain they immediately start to think about those plastic dolls that little girls play

The ability for scientists to use genetic screening in real life is quickly coming to fruition. Genetic screening is the ability for scientists to look into the DNA of a human being and determine the diseases in which the person may later face in their life. Thus‚ doctors are able to take efforts to cure the diseases before they even happen. However‚ it is likely that in the not so far future a form of genetic screening will come to be in which scientists are able to test for other traits such as

Genetic Modification is a new science that has created significant controversy for the human race. If genetic modification becomes a common practice without any legal restrictions‚ our world as we know it would completely change. With this unfathomable practice‚ our world is now open to an array of opportunities. Scientists can

Imagine a future earth where genetic diseases such as autism have been eradicated. No children are born blind‚ deaf or handicapped. An accident victim who looses a limb no longer needs to be handicapped‚ a cancer patient can have his internal organs replaced as they fail‚ an HIV patient can have all new blood he needs. This is a world made possible by genetic engineering and cloning. But is this new technology a gift sent from god for the betterment of humanity? Or is it a

Azizjon Azimi Bioethics Long Stance Paper on Human Genetic Engineering The debate on whether human genetic engineering should be researched and used as the main alternative solution to disease have been going on since the creation of the "human genetic engineering" phenomenon. The ethical question is clear: should money be invested in human genetic engineering and should we research it at all‚ even if it is formally criticized by all monotheistic religions? The ethical principles in conflict

Genetic testing among children can have its pros and cons‚ but it all comes down to if the parent believe it will benefit their child. There are so many things that genes can tell us from ancestry to diseases. If a disease runs in a parent’s genes‚ and they are worried their child might have that gene‚ they can get genetic testing to see if that disease runs in their child’s genes. Though genetic testing can be informative‚ it can change children’s personality‚ they can develop self-esteem issues

For the past few decades‚ the study of genetics has given scientists an ability that we as a species never had before-- the ability to directly modify our genetic makeup. With this scientific breakthrough‚ the possibilities are endless with real world implications. On a darker note‚ this also means that genetic modification has the ability to adversely affect humans in ways we cannot imagine. This gives rise to an important question‚ how ethical is the genetic modification of humans? Before we can
