1. We can benefit from Genetic Testing in many ways. DNA can be manipulated to prevent certain diseases like sickle-cell anemia, and muscular dystrophy, before they arrive in your system.One thing I don't agree with is "Genetic Privacy" how they can use DNA testing to determine if your eligible for a job. A company can look into your "Medical Destiny" to determine how much medical insurance will cost them in the future. That to me is ridiculous. Also how life insurance companies can demand genetic testing before issuing you a policy. People will do anything to save a dollar.
2. The main point of this is reading is that genetic testing can be used to find anyone's "Medical Destiny" and it allows doctors to manipulate segments of DNA to prevent diseases and determine the future.
3.Designer children means that scientists can manipulate a women's genes to determine eye color of a baby and if the child's healthy . This is good and also bad. If you want to make sure your baby's healthy by all means go ahead and get some DNA testing done. If parents want to abort a fetus just because the eye color of the baby isn't the color they expected, is just absurd. you cant be picky with life and control what god created, that to me makes no sense.
4.To me that's actually a scary thing to know your medical destiny I'd rather let life just take its course.
5.Depending on the medical issue my partner had would make this a difficult decision , I would in fact move forward in the relationship even if my partner had a medical issue. I mean if we truly love each other at the end of the day that's what really matters to me.
I knew you would be the first to do your assignment. Good job! Is the main point to know your medical destiny or is the main point is that we now would be faced with medical and ethical dilemnas? I agree that there are benefits to knowing info. Your last comment really makes a great statement about you!

ReplyDeleteI made it a habit to check my blog that's why I respond so quickly. lol
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of your answers Ricky. I especially like your answer about designer babies because I also feel we should let nature play is course and not try to control every aspect. Having a baby is a huge part of someone's life and controlling this aspect takes away from its value. I also agree with your last answer as I also feel that love is all one needs to get through any obstacle in a relationship
ReplyDeleteI agree with you ricky on the knowing your medical future. I wouldn't be scared, I'll be more calm not knowing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Rohan, i am not against designing a baby however,we should not try to modify a gift from God. All you're answers were good Enrico, i agree with everything you've said.
