This test is performed on eggs fertilized through in vitro fertilization before they are even put in the mother’s uterus. Understanding genes in the developing human will help doctors understand the

The world is constantly changing and evolving. Humans have played a large role in these changes. We have come far since the time of man creating the wheel. One of the areas that humans have improved on the some of the years is medical technology. The life expectancy for the average human being is now eighty years old compared to back in the day where someone would be lucky if they made it to their mid thirties. Medical advancements have done more than just help humans live longer. In today society

Hi guys! Today‚ we will be presenting on the topic of Designer Babies – babies that are created by genetic screening or engineering combined with in vitro fertilization‚ in order to ensure the absence or presence of a particular gene or characteristic. What are designer babies? You may ask. Is it similar to a comparism between normal bags you buy from BHG and designer LV bags? No! It is more like a Hermes bag‚ where we are able to design and customize our very own babies! We can select eye colour

The Physiological Implications A. Genetic Engineering Health risks of genetic engineering have sometimes been described in exaggerated‚ alarmist terms‚ implying that foods made from Genetically Engineered crops are inherently unsafe. It is also an exaggeration‚ however‚ to state that there are no health risks associated with GE. For one thing‚ not enough is known: research on the effects of specific genes has been limited—and tightly controlled by the industry. But we do know of ways in which

Gene Editing Human Embryos While very controversial‚ the fact of the matter is that gene editing on human embryos has happened‚ legally or otherwise. Many people oppose this form of experiments‚ and believe that it is not good for the human race. In theory‚ gene editing could give us the ability to remove certain genes and replace them with genes that could serve the same purpose but in a more efficient manner. While gene editing is not a new process‚ it is not an experiment that has been performed

Egg Donation has been used for over 20 years to help infertile couples achieve pregnancy through In Vitro Fertilization‚ or IVF. If you become an egg donor‚ you will give a woman the chance to carry a baby to term which shares her male partner’s genetic material. You will be giving the gift of life.
