Introduction The social determinants of health are the environment in which individuals are born‚ grow‚ live‚ work and age. Broader political‚ economic and social trends are factors that are beyond the individual’s control (McMurray & Clendon 2015). The conditions mentioned in this report show the effects of how social determinates of health have affected the Aboriginal people of the Toomelah Tribe‚ and how the social determinants of health assessment circle impact not only the individual but the

reality for expecting parents. Genetic engineering will allow parents to decide what their baby will look like from eye colour to their skin colour even if they will be intelligent or creative. Although some people may like the idea of being able to genetically engineering your baby it does have many down sides for example to have all the research done they have to use embryos and if the tests do not work the embryos will not be kept it will be disposed of. With this new genetic engineering and research

It’s a huge question on whether genetic engineering is a good or bad thing for us‚ as the people of this world. There are many different examples of genetic engineering in our everyday lives. This art of science has contributed towards a lot of positive outcomes in our daily lives as humans. The advantages to genetic engineering have proven to have great outcomes so it truly is hard to not want to pursue this act and help further our generation. A Lot of the food our bodies consoume is touched by

Genetic engineering is the process of adding or changing the DNA in an organism to change them. I am against genetic engineering for these reasons I state below. Reason one is that genetic engineering is bad is it is very expensive it can range from costing about under a hundred to over $2‚000. For a baby‚ it can cost up to $100‚000. Food is so expensive because they use chemicals to make the foods look that certain way. I am against genetic engineering. Reason two is that genetic engineering

Genetic engineering Genetic engineering can help prevent the majority of diseases and illnesses by by isolating the gene that is causing them. It can also be be used to treat infectious diseases. To do this the genes associated with antigen and antiviral proteins are implanted. The most wanted traits of specific organisms can be determined and integrated into another organism’s DNA. The genetic diversity can be increased by genetic engineering. It also can produce variant alleles that are able to

dangerous and wrong. Genetic engineering is basically swapping‚ switching and getting rid of certain genes before creating a problemless child. Considering the parents choose to engineer their child the process would include extensive processes to inquiry the child’s natural genes. The many time consuming expensive tests would need to be done to make it possible to know which genes would be faulty in the child if it were to be naturally conceived.

The level of education one obtains is directly related to the health of that individual‚ whereby it determines the person’s quality of life and life expectancy. Further more‚ one may be lead to believe that education is the most significant determinant of health due to its impact on behavioural and lifestyle factors. In other words‚ the health of an individual is dependant on being informed
