Choices in Design Every parent through their pregnancy wants a healthy baby with ten fingers and ten toes. There may be underlying wants, dad wants the football player and mom wants the ballerina. We live in a society where gender screening is now an option. The definition of a designer baby “is a baby that is the result of genetic screening or genetic modification. Embryos may be screened prior to implantation, or possibly gene therapy techniques could be used to create desired traits in a…

Introduction Medicare pays for the inpatient acute-care services. These payments are based on rate per discharge and by using the Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Group (MS-DRG) which are assigned to the patients. The MS-DRG is the system by which the Medicare patient’s hospital stay has been classified into different groups in order to make the payments for the services. The MS-DRG assigns code such as 190 stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with MCC. The codes are distributed…

Scrolling down the television guide one day, I saw a show entitled, “Who’s Afraid of Designer Babies?” And I thought to myself “Is designing a baby even ethical? Would it cause problems in the future? Who is actually benefitting from designer babies?” Suddenly my level of curiosity elevated, elevated to a point where I decided to conduct research. I came upon the idea of genetic engineering, which has been a very intense topic of discussion. A “designer baby” refers to a baby whose genetic…

BIOLOGY There are a few ways in which the process of sex selection can be completed. Though the most efficient way to use the Microsort flow cytometry method. A fluorescent dye is used to stain the sperm in a way that allows DNA bearing X and Y-chromosomes to be seen more clearly whilst a laser beam is passed through the stained sperm cell. This strategy has been utilized as a part of numerous configurations for more than 30 years. These strategies deal with the reason that they isolate the X…

In Vitro Fertilization or IDF is a reproductive procedure that takes the egg from the fallopian tube. The procedure begins with the doctor stimulating the woman with the follicle stimulating hormones that allow the eggs to ovulate to the fallopian tube, at that moment, the doctors would take the eggs directly from there and insert it into a Petri Dish. Next, the ejaculated sperm, which will be used to fertilize the eggs is inserted into the eggs to form an embryo. Once the embryo is formed, the…

What if you had the choice to save an embryo would you do it if that meant you could have more than one child? Imagine you have a genetic disease and the only option to have children is using the in-vitro fertilization method. This means taking your viable embryos testing and choosing the one that is "healthy" without the disease to have a child while the others get disposed. But, what if you could save them by genetically modifying the DNA sequences using gene technology within the embryos to…

Reproductive system helps our body to function properly such as producing an eggs,sperms and ovas.It mainly helps us produces the female egg cells necessary for reproduction, called the ova or oocytes. The reproductive system is very important part of the body system because it helps the population to reproduce, it is a very crucial factor of living.The reproductive system helps our body to produce new cells. One of the most widespread diseases of the reproductive system is known as prostate…

The original process of IVF(In Vitro Fertilization) and PGD was used to find and get rid of diseases of the parent’s babies. Throughout the years scientists have used IVF and PGD for more physical and characteristical traits like blond hair or blue eyes. During the process ofTo do IVF, scientists combine the egg and sperms provided to form an embryo, take an embryo and an egg with a petri dish, engage in tests, and then puts the fertilized egg inside the mother. The outcome or the end result is…

diminish the number of people with these ailments? Should we use it? There is a method called preimplantation genetic diagnosis. PDG involves removing a cell from an embryo created through In Vitro fertilization, or IVF, to test for specific genetic conditions before transferring the chosen embryo to the uterus. Should eugenic techniques like PDGS or preimplantation genetic diagnosis and selection, screening and choosing embryos for diseases prior to implanting them into a woman seeking…

SWOT Analysis Hamidi and Delbahari (2011) explains the SWOT analysis as a participatory model used by groups for examining conditions and developing appropriate strategies and plans, through assessing attributes and proficiencies to foster evidence for change within a group. SWOT analysis tool analyzes internal and external environments to make systematic approach to making decisions through analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. (Ghazinoory, Abdi, & Azadegan-Mehr, 2011)…
