- People with genetic abnormalities should not be discouraged from having families. Doctors should attempt to treat every genetically related health problem and to keep people alive at all cost. If this proposal were initiated, there would be many effects on our societyDescribe three ethical medical technologies that would reduce the financial costs created by initiating this proposal. Evaluate the proposal from both a genetic and a moral point of view. Your response should include the following information : •A description of three medical technologies that are ethical and that would likely reduce some of the financial costs created by initiating the proposal. • A balanced argument for and against the proposal from the scientific perspective of a geneticist. • A balanced argument for and against the proposal from the perspective of a policy maker (ega politician or a religious leader etc.)arrow_forwardI believe that there are many good things that can come out of people getting to design their baby’s genetic material. But there are also many bad things as well. From the article by Bio medical about the pros and cons of having a designer baby it states that a pro is that this type of engineering can “ might help prevent genetic diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s Disease, down syndrome, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and many others”. I think that it is great that we could get rid of Alzheimer’s due to how destructive it can be to the people that suffer it. But I think the other diseases that it can eliminate is horrible due to them making our world a more unique place such as people with autism, Down syndrome. By doing this it could eliminate the whole population of people with disabilities community and make everyone “normal”. Another bad that I found in the article Ethics of designer babies which states that a major flaw for these babies is “designer baby technologies suggest…arrow_forwardExplain how epigenetics demonstrates the influence of the environment on phenotype or gene expression.arrow_forward

Without discrimination as the framework, preventive medicine and wellness models may desire genetic testing in adults to identify genetic diseases before they cause symptoms.
