   The Human Genome Project is the largest scientific endeavor undertaken since the Manhattan Project, and, as with the Manhattan Project, the completion of the Human Genome Project has brought to surface many moral and ethical issues concerning the use of the knowledge gained from the project. Although genetic tests for certain diseases have been available for 15 years (Ridley, 1999), the completion of the Human Genome Project will certainly lead to an exponential increase in the number of genetic tests available. Therefore, before genetic testing becomes a routine part of a visit to a doctor's office, the two main questions at the heart of the controversy surrounding genetic testing must be

Picture a young couple in a waiting room looking through a catalogue together. This catalogue is a little different from what you might expect. In this catalogue, specific traits for babies are being sold to couples to help them create the "perfect baby." This may seem like a bizarre scenario, but it may not be too far off in the future. Designing babies using genetic enhancement is an issue that is gaining more and more attention in the news. This controversial issue, once thought to be only possible in the realm of science-fiction, is causing people to discuss the moral issues surrounding genetic enhancement and germ line engineering. Though genetic research can prove beneficial to learning how to prevent hereditary

Genetic testing has brought about many changes in the way many couples look at conceiving and raising families. Through genetic testing you are able to screen for the increased chance that a fetus may have one of many congenital disorders, or even identify gene changes that are responsible for a disease that has already been diagnosed (Genetic Testing, March 2015). Unfortunately genetic testing is not always exact, in some cases giving parents false negatives or false positive results. Even if the results are accurate, there is the burden of knowledge once you know the results indicate a genetic abnormality such as Down’s syndrome. While caring for a 2 year old male patient with developmental delays and anotia, I learned that genetic testing had been started but never completed on the child. Genetic testing could help to identify genetic disorders that led to the child’s developmental delays and possible future disorders that may develop. The ethical dilemma I will be discussing to the ANA Ethical dilemma of the impact of informed consent of genetic testing on children for adult onset diseases and disorders.

When providing genetic testing services, the doctor or counselor should follow a set of principles. The doctor is obligated to explain the procedures and their purposes, describe the risks and benefits to be expected, inform of other alternative (possibly advantageous) procedures, disclose the range of decisions the patient may have to make, and answer all questions openly and

Modern day technology has taken the “surprise” out of pregnancy for a large number of parents if they choose to utilize it. An option parents might explore is having a prenatal assessment to determine if there are any identifiable genetic abnormalities in the unborn child. There are risks associated with certain procedures such as false positive results, procedure induced miscarriages or possible fetal limb abnormalities.

“I do not foresee a role anytime soon for investigating the genotype of a particular child in order to help make treatment decisions. I would certainly not advise parents to waste any time or money obtaining any of the ‘genetic scans’ that have become popular lately. They are of no practical help.”(p.22)

Genetic testing is done for several reasons. Couples are tested for possible carriers of inherited genetic disorders, and the possibility of passing on the disorder to their offspring. Prenatal testing can be done to diagnosis conditions to allow parents to choose to continue a pregnancy. Lastly, testing can be performed to show whether a person is carrying a gene for a specific disease or disorder. This paper will discuss the genetic family assessment across three generations.

genetic testing, everything has changed. She notes that clinicians now have the ability to diagnose, treat, and monitor a patient’s illnesses or disease progression in an entirely different manner. This is a far cry from the old medical model of responding to a disease (or defect) only after it appears, and then prescribing the recommended medication or intervention. These genetic medical advances sound miraculous and promising, but the ability to test, screen and provide early intervention does not come without many major ethical dilemmas.

Genetic engineering in babies is a concept that was developed within the last few decades, and due to rapid advancements in technology, it is beginning to become more reliable and more available for prospective parents. Parents will soon be able to choose the gender, eye color, hair color, and many other options for their unborn child, so that they can have the perfect, designer child. With the popularity of genetic engineering rising, many people are beginning to question how the process works, how it can help with diseases, and the ethics behind this new technology.

Biotechnology interventions are used to advance human brains and our future to the extreme. The process of genetic engineering is very unpredictable and dramatic that it will have a major effect on its environment. Human genetic manipulation is considered unethical and dangerous for the most part. Human genetic alteration is illegal in many countries, but it is used in some places to cure gene diseases. The process of changing the genetic DNA of when a baby is born can be passed down the line of the persons. Swapping bad and unwanted genes for a better one is part of the process. There are many potential advantages gained from this operation as well as some dangers. Considering the ethical implications of the gene enhancement the result might cause a gene problem. The advanced technology application can make a huge different especially improving the quality of a human being by fixing an unwanted and inheritable gene defects. Many people are affected

Genetic engineering is very tempting offer for parents. They know their baby is going to be perfect but what if they

To check for fetal abnormalities, emotional preparation is required by the expectant parents. This is performed by the family physician and a genetic counsellor. Genetic counselling is an information session between you and your partner and a genetic counselor or group of counselors. A genetic counselor will not make a decision for you. He or she will provide information on tests you might take and what the results of those tests may indicate (2). It is of paramount importance for new parents to be aware of the choices available. Having a prenatal test is a decision for you and your family. It is helpful to discuss these choices with your family doctor or genetic counsellor and sort out any detected arising issues early. Detection of fetal abnormalities provides an assessment of the risk of carrying a fetus with

In Saudi Arabia I am sure that there is probably more than one language spoken there but the number one language is Arabic. Did you know that the Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia has that biggest continuous desert, in the world. Saudi Arabia is a country located in the Middle East surrounded by water, and desert. Saudi Arabia is also known for being the 15th largest export economy in the world. Saudi Arabia is an amazing country. And I hope you enjoy these pages filled with more wonderful facts about the Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the Arabian Peninsula and Located in the southwest corner of Asia, with a total Saudi population as 2010 amounted 29,195,895 million.

Cultural differences impact globalization and business practices among several countries. Social Institutions are very different in the United Arab Emirates. The UAE goes by the Sharia Law, and according to this law, marriage is the only legal bond for a man and woman to establish a relationship and have children. The nuclear family structure is what they mainly follow and raising children is the main job for Emirati women. Only 6% of Emirati women are in the workforce, meaning their main concentration lies at home with children and extended family. Education, providing, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision making and collaborating with the community are mainly how Emirati women raise their children. There are few women working in the United Arab Emirates and this is a huge difference in comparison to western world countries.
