Because genetic engineering involves the modification of an organism's set of instructions, it has created a dilemma raising both moral and ethical concerns. For instance, a biotechnological company has found a way to produce rice that is immune to pests and diseases, which is vital for the establishment of food security. However, the methods that will be implemented are by splicing off the genes of endangered pandas using invasive procedures that may harm their population. Will you support this? Why or why not? Limit your answers to 5 sentences or less. Be brief and concise.

Genetic information from the Human Genome Project may be used to develop screening procedures which could be used by insurance companies or employers. Discuss the possible implications of the use of genetic information for this type of screening
I 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…

A genetics research group has determined the sequence of a rat gene thought to be involved in controlling the fertilising ability of rat sperm. They believe a similar gene may control fertility in humans. Describe how what is known about the rat gene can be applied in PCR to clone the complementary human gene. You should explain the experimental approach taken and how it could confirm that the human gene in question does indeed correspond to the rat gene.
