CJA 314 Week 5 Team Assignment Future Crime Scenario Paper Read the following: A doctor has applied for a patent on new technology, involving the use of advanced computers to create a new type of organism. One goal is to genetically alter these organisms for use in human organ growth and transplant. The doctor says that, if she is not granted a patent, she will continue her research. Write a 1,750- to 2,800-word paper, addressing the scenario.
Many researchers are trying to bring gene therapy back to people’s attention. Researchers are trying to introduce a 47th (artificial human) chromosome into target where they can attach it next to the 46th chromosome therefore not affecting any mutations or their works. The only problem that this idea seems to have is finding a large vector that will carry the doubled chromosome into the targeted cell! In the UK for example, the Gene Therapy Advisory Committee reports that during 1997 new approaches and renewed financial support for the field indicates that gene therapy is moving into an expansive phase. The European Society for Gene Therapy and the American Society of Gene Therapy are also doing the same thing.
When conducting social research it is important for sociologists to consider the range of ethical factors that they might face, as failure to do so may affect the participants or even the overall outcome of the sociological data. From the informed consent of participants to covert research, it is essential to examine the most important ethical issues as they play an important part in the construction of research data. An ethical problem that could be encountered by sociologists when conducting research is the issue of informed consent. Informed consent is given when the participants of the study agree to the terms and conditions of the true aim of the study. However, some results may be invalidated by the participants knowing either the true aim of the study or the fact that they are being studied at all.
Rhetorical Analysis With each new scientific discovery comes the question of ethics. Should we be doing this? Is that it is done in the name of science a good enough reason to bypass general ethical standards? Writer Maya Eddon posts her opinion on human cloning in an article on the Discovery Tech Website. She argues that cloning is, "an unprecedented advance in medical research" and should be used to its full potential.
Edmarly Pierre Ms. Dutton, ENC 1102 Final Draft Four March 20, 2012 Technology Needs Limitations The DNA is an amazing and unique aspect of the human body’s make-up. Because our features and characteristics are randomly chosen for us by fate, it is an exciting process to be expecting a child. It is an even more marvelous experience knowing once it is born, he or she will be special and unique in every way, and because it is your child, you will love it no matter how it looks. But, unfortunately, technology has made so many discoveries that we now have the knowledge to use cloning to modify the DNA of human and also adjust the appearance of unborn babies. The natural creation and development of a child demonstrates the powerful capability
Designer Babies – Like It Or Not, Here They Come By Keith Kleiner (Feb 25th 2009) http://singularityhub.com/2009/02/25/designer-babies-like-or-not-here-they-come/ The texts talks about genetic modification and technologies scientists have achieved so far. Designer babies are created by customisation of the genes, e.g. the choice of the gender and screening for diseases. It talks about the ability to change the colours of hair, eyes, and complexion and equip the baby superior genes for good looks, intelligence, athleticism, and many more. Some people think it is good to be able to genetically modify the genes but other oppose of it.
American Cancer Society predicts that 20,520 new cases of multiple myeloma will be diagnosed in 2011 alone. (Government) Myeloma is a cancer that begins in plasma cells they are located in the white blood cells. (Mayo clinic staff) Myeloma is the
“The extensive efforts to develop personalized and/or targeted therapies hold some promise as they take into account the complex molecular composition and gene expression profiles of individual tumors” (ACS, 2012). Early detection methods and guidelines for people with genetic predisposition are also going to help reduce incidence of cancer. 3. Select a research program from among those funded by the American Cancer Society. Describe the program and discuss
DEBATE REFLECTION In today’s society, advances in genetics are improving the scientific understanding of some of the links between genetics and diseases; this is also known as DNA profiling. DNA profiling is the process of identifying an individual through their DNA. A person’s DNA can tell a lot about the individual, for instance, it could show if the person carries a disease or has chance of developing a disease, or if a person has a genetic disorder that they may pass on to their offspring. This information can be used by employers to find the best suited employee or for insurance companies to deny their services to individuals who have a greater chance of death. In my opinion the use of DNA for these purposes is a violation of an individual’s
While scientists begin to discover new ways of using nanobot technology they work on the idea of using them to correct all problems with the human body. If this occurs nanobots will be made to continue to reproduce while curing the body part, but while continuing to cure they will not stop producing. This allows for the idea that within time the human body will no longer be completely human and instead will be only a form of science. Just as Victor created life scientists today are attempting to preserve it, but at what
