Eugenics is a term used to describe the science of bettering a population based on new advances and technology. In the medical field, there are a lot of new medical advances that help people in many way such as DNA, stem cell research, amniocentesis, and reproduction. The topic I pick to discuss is amniocentesis. Amniocentesis is done to detect certain conditions such as Down Syndrome. However, the procedure can be complicated and put the fetus at risk. Once an amniocentesis is done and results show positive, pregnant women are given the option to continue with pregnancy or arrange an abortion. The ethical issue regarding this subject is if they fetus is considered a human. In addition, this test is done for higher risk pregnancy. I can’t choose wither I support this or not because I think there are circumstances to each situation.
Answer: The term Eugenics includes the improvement of the genetic composition in human. Although amniocentesis is one of the processes involved in the eugenics which is performed to detect certain conditions such as Down Syndrome. This is an abnormality which can occur in the fetus. These tests are generally performed to identify the problem or the abnormality. Suppose if these tests were not performed and when the this abnormality occurs in the baby after the birth which is incurable. Then what will be the option at this situation for the parents?

A living being according to the Khan Academy has seven characteristics: organization, metabolism, homeostasis, growth, reproduction, response and evolution(2019). But then,...

Most of the time ethical principles are not always clear cut, and you have to use your best judgment. I learned that sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and ruffle a few feathers to get things done. By this I mean doing the right thing is not always going to make people like you. In fact it can make...

please critique this post and ask one question regarding this post: i would define privacy as keeping all personal information such as name, date of birth, even home address confidential to non-authorized people. I believe privacy is a moral right because it should not be everyone's business to know everyone's personal life. Having privacy keeps a person's life safe and away from strangers who have no right to know who they are. Though, I do also believe privacy should be...
