Question

1. Scientists are using genetically modified embryonic stem cells to study the role of specific genes in human development and aging and the genetic cause of disease. Some people are concerned that these techniques could one day be enriched individuals and in an inequitable society. Write a paragraph in which you choose a side on this issue and explore and defend your position. (25 marks) 5 marks each for organization, ideas, proper terminology, creativity, and answering all aspects of the question.

Answer 1

Genetic testing is the term that include using modified embryonic stem cell to investigate any abnormality in the embryo. This is a highly useful technique because it lead to diagnosis of genetic defects present in embryo and to detect any chromosomal abnormlties. Thus , genetic testing help to implant only helathy individuals that have disease free genes. Also, it lead to the selection of desired embryo with desired genes to produced enriched individuals that have better traits than any other individuals.
