    would be fine to alter a baby’s genes to make it smarter. However, 46% think it is acceptable to fix a newborn’s genes to reduce the risk of serious illnesses (Doc. 4). The unique thing about the world is that every single person is different. If genetic engineering gets out of hand, it could lead to a “dystopia of superpeople and designer babies for those who can afford it” (Doc. 3). Once altering the genes of humans is feasible, international rules should be made so that diseases from mutated genes

The mind, for instance

    Mendelian Genetics was created by Gregor Mendel; who is known as the father of genetics. Mendelian Genetics was established to understand the basics of genetics of inheritance easier. Mendel created pure lines which is the population that breeds for a certain trait. This was important because all the non-pure generations would get the genetic experiments messed up, so it helped them understand it simpler. My hypothesis is does Mendelian Genetics make is easier to find the phenotype and genotypes

    cells. This is genetic modification (also known as genetic engineering). Healthy lab produced cells will replace gene cells that are negative in a personś body. Many diseases can be cured with access to genetic modification. The unhealthy disease cells can be replaced or missing cells can be added to a body. By performing genetic modifications, life spans can be lengthened. Animals and humans could live longer by replacing old cells with new ones. Also, with the assistance of genetic engineering, “super

    Genetic disorders are a topic in biology that can not be avoided. The fact is that genetic disorders can happen in humans, plants or animal. No one and nothing is safe from a genetic disorder. A genetic disorder can appear in the first years off life, or can appear much later in life when least expected. A basic principal of biology states that the behavior of chromosomes during the meiosis process can account for genetic inheritance patterns. There are many reasons for genetic disorders. To start

    The Ethical Use of Genetic Engineering on Humans The main reason for investigating the ethics of genetic engineering is to ensure that we as a society have a set of rules that we do not break as doing so would create abominations. The main issue of the ethics of genetic engineering on humans is the fact that the fetus has no choice over their own future. A fetus however cannot think in the embryo and when born, will know no other life than the genetically engineered life. There are several possibilities
