ETHICAL ISSUES

DNA FINGERPRINTING

• A test to identify the genetic information
• It is accurate if done correctly
• It can help solve crimes by finding DNA
• There should be limits to the testing
• But it can help keep tabs on everyone

GENE THERAPY

• Replaces a mutated gene with a healthy one
• Is a major advancement in medical research
• The therapy is expensive and only available to the wealthy
• Gene therapy changes the human's qualities
• It is dangerous and effects the person's children

GENETIC MODIFICATION

• Taking genes then putting them with other genes
• Creates a hybrid of the two species
• There can be health hazards with food hybrids
• Can be used for military purposes
• We end up with unnatural animals, foods or others

CLONING

• Taking a cell the reconstructing it then it is
• Fused with an egg cell then creates an identical offspring
• Disorders often occur with a cloned child
• The offspring will live shorter because it's born with old cells
• Cloning could stop genetic diversity which makes humans adaptable

ETHICAL?

• DNA fingerprinting is ethical
• Gene therapy is not ethical
• Genetic modification is not ethical
• Cloning is not ethical
