longer be stripped from the opportunity of bearing their biological child that carries their genetic inheritance. This is of great importance to many couples because it will preserve their bloodline for many generations to come.Bioethics continues to talk about the purposes of the cloning of children and the reasons to do so. "Human cloning could allow couples at risk of generating children with genetic disease to have healthy children. If both parents carried one copy of a recessive gene for…

The parents give their consent to the scientists to manipulate the genetics of the embryo. This is a gross violation of a child’s fundamental human right to lead a life whose basic form is not dictated while the child has still not found himself or herself in the mother’s womb. A designer baby is a genetic /scientific process whereby genetic fictionalization of the embryo is achieved by applying the tools…

Sometimes some of the various parts are done simultaneously. All the parts work as a unit to strive to bring the patient to the healthiest state for that patient. The nursing process is based on a loop…

Nancy Klein’s “Abortions and Prenatal Testing” describe the use of prenatal testing to determine if a child will be born with genetic conditions, specifically Down syndrome. Klein describes the fears of parents who believe that with less children in the world with Down syndrome, there will be a decrease in the quality of life of those who are already living with the disorder. Klein also describes the fears that with less children born with Down syndrome, there will be a decrease in institutional…

currently one of the accepted causes of a painful foot condition known as Morton 's neuroma [MN] (Rout et al., 2009). For this week 's discussion, the author wishes to discuss the two diagnostic imaging commonly employed by clinicians in confirming the diagnosis for MN. The research article by Fazal, Khan, and Thomas (2012) shall serve as the springboard for the discussion on the use of ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in MN. Fazal et al. (2012) characterized MN as a…

food allergens, studies have discovered a temporal relationship with certain food allergens (such as egg, soy, peanuts, wheat, fish and cow’s milk) in up to 15 to 40% of patients (Tareen, 2015). The most important risk factor for this condition is genetic pre-disposition, which was found to be is 2.6 times more common in girls with 10.5% of genetically predisposed infants developing the condition during the first 18 months of life (Tareen, 2015). Given the medical/family history of M.G and the…

Wall of Silence Journal Entry One Medical errors occur every day whether it is from a nurse or physician and because of it’s occurrence, it is publicized and raises concern in the community.
