- Ethical values may vary regionally. For example, while stem cell administration is not considered ethical in a region, there is no reason why it should not be ethical worldwide.Give 1 sample in accordance with the example given above.Note: The example you will give should be general as above (no person, time etc.). The sample should be unique to you and should be explained in detail.arrow_forwardYou have decided to combine your love of biology and your love of dogs to train dogs to detect cancer. You can reliably train dogs to detect cancer with a high degree of accuracy. The dogs are able to detect the cancer simply by sniffing clothing that had been worn by the patient and so there is no contact between the dog and the patient. Since there are no risks from the test, and you know that cancer caught early is often treatable you are keen to develop your idea further. What possible negative consequences would need to be considered before concluding that this type of screening test should be more widely used? You may select more than one answer. a. Risks associated with further tests such as biopsies to type and stage the cancer. b. Risks associated with surgical interventions to remove the cancer. C. Risks associated with chemotherapy used post surgery.arrow_forwardWhat are the pros and cons to Embryonic stem cells research in Medical research in this country today?arrow_forward

Paragraphs 2 and 3: Provide one paragraph presenting elements supportive of the pro argument and one paragraph presenting elements supportive of the con argument. Paragraph 4: Summarize each argument. Paragraph 5: State your personal opinion based on what you have learned from your reading. Provide citations for your sources.arrow_forward

What are the benefits and cost of it? Which do you think is more equitable in its impact? (benefit or cost) Why?arrow_forwardTherapeutic cloning is a process of producing embryonic stem cells that could possibly be used to grow healthy tissues and organs. The process involves the removal of the nucleus from a mature somatic cell and injecting this nucleus into an unfertilized egg. The egg then begins to divide and, after four to five days, embryonic stem cells begin to form. These embryonic stem cells are unique in that they can develop into different types of tissues, and scientists believe they can direct the cells to develop into specific tissue types that they choose. What are some possible applications of therapeutic cloning? Explain your answer. BIUarrow_forwardOne of the following can not be used in therapeutic cloning Select one: a. Embryonic b. Blood cells c.
