Please help me answer Part III- 1, 2, 3, 4 of this case study,Thank you,Heres a link to the PDFhttps://www.cusd80.com/cms/lib/AZ01001175/Centricity/Domain/8922/eofad.pdf Part III-PGD?Suzanne and David decided to have children. They wanted to ensure that their children would not inheritSuzanne's disease, and are now considering whether to utilize a process known as pre-implantation geneticdiagnosis (PGD). This process involves in vitro fertilization (IVF) and genetic testing of the resulting embryosfor the APP mutation. Only embryos without the mutated APP gene would be implanted. The others wouldbe discarded.Should Suzanne and David have PGD?Questions1. What is in vitro fertilization? Does it carry risk? How is the procedure accomplished?2. Who has access to IVF/PGD? What would obstacles to access be? Are these procedures typically coveredby insurance?3. Do women egg donors undergoing IVF incur any risk? If yes, what might those risks be? What about therisks for the sperm donor? Why do people decide to continue with IVF knowing about potential risks?4. What are the arguments/ethical issues surrounding this couple's use of IVF/PGD to determine theinheritance of this particular disease gene? If screening for disease genes is okay, is it also okay toscreen for the sex of the child? If not, how would you describe the differences between the two types ofscreening? What about other traits, such as physical attributes and intelligence? Please explain.ResourcesGrady, D. 2007. "Girl or Boy? As Fertility Technology Advances, So Does an Ethical Debate."

A controversial issue, closely related to cloning, that has caused a lot of debate is the use of embryonic stem cells. One possible application of these cells is that they may be able to supply replacement tissues to treat diseases such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes, paralysis due to spinal cord injuries, and other degenerative diseases. The word "embryonic", has caused fierce opposition to this type of research because embryos are destroyed when the stem cells are removed. Questions that have surfaced in this debate include: When a cell nucleus is transferred to another cell, have we created life? Does a stem cell have the same status as a human? What should be done with the embryos that are leftover at in vitro fertilization (IVF), clinics? Advocates argue that the medical benefits of stem cell research would be enormous. Opponents argue that life begins at conception and thus this type of research is abortion. Based on what you have read, explain why you are for or against stem…

GENETICS QUESTION!! Imagine that you are a geneticist at a hospital and you are given a file for a patient whose family has a history of cancer. The patient, John Doe, is 18 years old and has had a biopsy done on a tumorous growth in his adrenal gland. He has a sister, Jane, and a brother, Bob, who are younger than he is and who are both healthy. His mother, Betty, has a diagnosis of breast cancer. John’s father, Joe, and John’s paternal grandparents have no history of cancer. Betty is one of four children. Her brother, Tom, and sister, Lucy, have never had cancer or signs of cancer. Both Tom and Lucy are older than Betty. Betty had another brother, Jake, who died very young of leukaemia. Tom has monozygotic twin daughters who are healthy. Betty’s father, Don, died of soft tissue sarcoma in his thirties. Betty’s mother is alive and healthy. Betty’s paternal grandmother, Don’s mother, died of a brain tumor in her thirties. Don had no siblings. As part of your research, you also consult…
