eugenics, centered around forced sterilization and selective breeding to eliminate undesirable traits and foster the spread of more advantageous ones (Galton), is dead. However, the idea of focusing on one’s inherited genes to eliminate passed down diseases is alive and well, albeit in a more “modern” fashion. Is modern eugenics the right way of the future for humanity? To what extent should modern eugenics be viable? Before ambitious genetic projects had begun, such as the Human Genome Project which

Stem Cell Funding Stem cell research has been a controversial hot topic in court and in the lab. The controversy involved with stem cell research starts with the means of obtaining the cells to perform the research. These stem cells are often obtained from deceased embryos of human beings. Ethics and moral issues arise because of the abortions occurring solely to acquire the coveted stem cells. Stem cells are basically cells that are capable of dividing and producing cells that differentiate further

reasons the anemia occurs in the EB population. Iron deficiency and protein loss from unhealed wounds are main proponents. Blood transfusions are a tricky topic for this area as some populations may have an iron overload such as those predisposed to sickle cell anemia. Other complications include chronic blood loss from scarring resulting in reduced hemoglobin (Hwang, Shelley Ji Eun et al. 2015).Cardiomyopathy may result as a complication this is where the heart has has a difficult time pumping blood

A couple or individual can have P.G.D(Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) done on their embryos. P.G.D will give a scintices a genetic map of the all the embryos made and what genetic diseases could be in early embryos like Tay-Sachs, Sickle cell anemia, Cystic fibrosis, Beta-cell Seniora and mitochondrial disease prior to implanting of the embryos. Only a handful of scientic in the world are capable of deciphering the genetic makeup of an embryo. To examine the embryos, first the women most go through

or absence of particular genes or characteristics.” (Oxford University, 2005) Breeders of animals and plants have been using this technique to “produce organisms that will possess desirable characteristics, such as high crop yields, resistance to disease, high growth rate and many other phenotypical characteristics that will benefit the organism and species in the long term.” (Butler, 2012) We need to pause and ask ourselves if we start to cross breed the human race what are the moral or ethical

cardiovascular disease (NHS Choices, Online). Statins reduce the production of LDL cholesterol in the liver to prevent the above conditions. “Up to 8,000 lives could be saved every three years by offering statins to anyone with a 10 per cent risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) within a decade”, says NICE (no date). Therefore, the development of statins and other techniques used to prevent and cure heart disease are a very significant advance in healthcare science as heart disease and other

human, infecting their liver cells. Once there infection and damage to red blood cells is critical to the parasites survival. Because red blood cells transport oxygen all over the body, their destruction by P. falciparum causes basic functional devastation to the host. Plasmodium falciparum increase the speed glucose synthesis in red blood cells causing a large yield of energy. P. falciparum use a hefty portion of this energy to destroy hemoglobin proteins in the cells and to inhibit damaging chemical
