To nowadays, having robots replace human jobs and other machines replace such human ingenuity. With the increase in human reliance on technology, we have been using robotics which is a branch of engineering and science, to further our efficiency on certain tasks such as the manufacturing of goods. However while these robots are already influencing the manufacturing world…

international summit was held to discuss the ethics of human gene editing. In a quote from the article, "Scientists are engineering animals with human like disorders to unravel the genes that fuel them. They are developing potential treatments for muscular dystrophy, sickle cell disease and cancer/ they 're trying to grow…

used to cure mice of a rare genetic liver disorder. There are a wide variety of other genetic disorders that have the possibility of being treated with this biotechnology. These include hemophilia, huntington’s disease, cystic fibrosis, and muscular dystrophy. Patrick Hsu, a bioengineer at the Sulk Institute for Biological Studies, has begun studies using this biotechnology to model neurodegenerative disorders using monkeys. This is a huge advancement, for this would be a much more effective…

With improving technology and The Human Genome Project’s comprehensive list, designing babies has become a legitimate possibility. Though it will come at a hefty price, at least in the beginning, the manipulation of genetic sequences will allow parents to create healthier, stronger, and more beautiful babies. Just because it can be done does that mean it should? Despite the major benefit of designing babies across the world, there are many problems that this new technology allows. Nicholas Agar…

There are several species on the earth and each species has its unique characteristics. Even within a species, there exists noticeable variation. Variety is the essence of nature. Confining this article to humans, it can be seen that all human beings are similar to a great extent but there are also different from each other to a significant extent. The variation among individuals is due the genetic make up. With an exception of monozygotic twins, no two individuals in the world are identical.…

Patients with “extensive burns, leukemia, and other blood disorders” are currently being treated with Stem-Cells (“What are the potential applications for Stem Cell Research”). The process has been in use since the 1970s, with bone marrow transplants, although back then it was not as safe and innovated at it is today. With more research, technological advances, and scientific breakthrough’s patients have a fighting chance against life threatening diseases that have plague humankind. Even though…
