The increase of knowledge regarding the topic altering genes has become rapid and have open and paved the hope of designing your own perfect baby. Even today, the use of reforming and adjusting the genes of an unborn child is being put in effect. “Techniques of genetic screening are already being used, whereby embryos can be selected by sex and checked for certain disease-bearing genes. This can lead to either the termination of a pregnancy, or if analyzed at a pre-implantation stage when using…

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…

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis Pre-Implantation Diagnosis Preimplantation genetic diagnosis is the process which involves the testing of embryos which have been produced through the process of In vitro fertilisation (IVF), for a range of genetic disorders. It can test for recessive sex linked disorders such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Dominant sex linked disorders such as incontinentia pigmenti, single gene disorders such as sickle cell anaemia and cystic fibrosis, as well as chromosomal…

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…

September) What is PGD? .PGD Is when embryos which are going to be used in vitro fertilization are screen for known single gene genetic disorders such as Huntington’s Disease. The process of screening the embryos is Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) fertility powerpoint Why is the use of PGD a socio- scientific issue? The use of PGD is a socio-scientific issue due to the social ethical acceptability. As PGD is screening…

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…

A goal all parents have in common is for their child to prosper throughout their whole entire life. There is no better way to guarantee that than to alter their genes to make them more attractive and/or athletic. This is a highly controversial method because the parents are changing their child before they are born. Thus, not allowing the child to be who he/she is meant to be. Leslie Pray describes reprogenetics as “extracting a single cell from an eight-cell embryo and analyzing the DNA of…

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…

do not take care of their bodies and some of these may be a shock. I will discuss some of the ways such as not eating healthy or just not eating at all, stress and its effects on the body, and posture issues. All of these issues are important to nursing because patients do not want to take advice from someone that does not look…
