Pope John Paul Ii Genetic Engineering
1,754 wordsThe Benefits and Risks of Genetic Engineering The arrival of genetic engineering presents Catholics with an interesting moral dilemma. Although it clearly brings with it immense benefits for the entire human race, certain aspects of it don't bide by Catholic moral teachings. If a doctor uses biotechnology to diagnose or cure a patient, is he playing God, or simply saving life? Due to issues like these, the Catholic Church holds certain reservations when it comes to this new field in science. The...

Prenatal Diagnosis Downs Syndrome
1,638 words... s the couples both of which are carriers before they get married. Carrier screening may result with genetic discrimination against carriers. People who have been diagnosed as carriers may find it difficult to find partners for marriage, may be discriminated against by employers or insurance companies. For example, carriers of sickle cell anemia who were identified as a result of a compulsory population-screening programme during 1970 s, were discriminated against in several American states. ...

Genetic Tests Syndrome
3,282 wordsProbably, applied genetics? most impacts on society are as a result of genetic tests. In general, genetic tests seek to detect some feature of a person? s genetic constitution. This feature can be a disease causing mutation or a marker DNA sequence used to detect presence of another gene. Obviously these procedures used for testing the status of DNA, RNA or chromosomes are included in genetic tests. What is more it is possible to include some protein based tests and classical medical examination...

20 Th Century Vitro Fertilization
3,169 wordsGenetic Testing for Diseases There is more than enough ethical mud in genetics of 1998 to keep physicians, lawyers, scientists and bioethicist's on guard. A majority is unaware of the progress made in routine and exotic genetics, and most are caught off guard by each new technology. At the same time, in the United States most scientists receive no more than a few hours training in ethics, most physicians take no training in genetics, and it was revealed in 1997 that less than 16 % of those who r...

Human Genome Project British Medical Association
3,429 wordsGenetics: Issues of IVF, screening, pre-selection, genetic testing, cloning and the social implications. James Watson once said, We used to think that our fate was in our stars. Now we know that, in large measure, our fate is in our Genes (Jaroff 1998). On June 26 th 2000, The Human Genome Project will unveil its rough draft mapping of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences within the human chromosomes (genetic code), to the public. The project has been ongoing since the late eighties, and is...

Germ Line Therapy Genetically Engineered
4,617 wordsAbstract This paper sets out to defend human genetic engineering with a new bioethical approach, post-humanism, combined with a radical democratic political framework. Arguments for the restriction of human genetic engineering, and specifically germ-line enhancement, are reviewed. Arguments are divided into those which are fundamental matters of faith, or bio-Luddite arguments, and those which can be addressed through public policy, or gene-angst arguments. The four bio-Luddite concerns addresse...

X And Y Vitro Fertilization
1,447 wordsSex Preselection For many years, mankind has wondered how to choose the sex of a child before its birth for which countless myths, folk remedies, and magic potions have been offered as a solution. None of these methods were based on scientific evidence. However, in recent years gender selection has been made possible through advances such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis using biopsy methods combined with in vitro fertilization and sperm separation using flow cytometry techniques (Reubinoff,...
