heard about “cloning food” I was a little disgusted as I also did not understand it at that time. There are some dangers that come with genetically engineered foods. Many of the opposed claim it causes nuclear pollution, global warming, and the toxic effects of pesticides and herbicides. Most of these crops developed are resistant to herbicides. Therefore this will result in greater pollution to our food and water with toxic agrochemicals. Many of the opposed also question ethical concerns due

most controversial scientific developments. Some of the Genetic Technology controversial topics include the cloning and genetic redesigning of human beings. Cloning has been used strictly for animals, and this process has been done on a regular basis. There has never been a human being cloned to date, except for the form of natural cloning of identical twins. Genetic redesigning for human beings pertains to the option for parents to create a child in their perception. The parent can also choose to

Future Health Care HLT 305 The human genome project is a project that focuses on the genetic material or genome of humans and is inspecting different aspects. The human genome is a total map of human DNA. The genome is made to contain a series of chromosomes and appearances of the human body and biological features. When looking at the genome, the diseases, infections and other issues need to be discovered. Therefore, treatments and new procedures that can be discovered for top notch success

society. This topic brings up many ethical questions about it is right to do the research or not. Stem cells come from embryos that are only a few days old. The ethical issues that arise are many. If one believes that an embryo is a baby upon fertilization, then one would feel that this was unethical to do the research no matter what the benefits would be. On the other hand, some feel the benefits of what can be learned from stem cell research outweighs the ethical and moral dilemmas that are argued

Is Embryonic Stem Cell Research Ethical? The introduction and expansion of embryonic stem cell research initiated a highly debated ethical topic. Can our society agree to disagree? What are embryonic stem cells? What are stem cells? Is all stem cell research considered abortion? Debates surrounding embryonic stem cell research is further complicated by social standards and needs, religious beliefs, and personal morals.

Sept. 2013 A Question of Ethics: Egg Harvesting for Stem Cell Research Stem cell research brings to mind cloning, treatments for disease, and other positive things. What you don’t think about are the women affected through the harvesting of the embryotic eggs required to conduct this research. Dr. Diane Beeson’s article “Egg Harvesting for Stem Cell Research: Medical Risks and Ethical Problems” illustrates the issues of short and long-term effects of ovarian stimulation, risks to offspring, and
