When peoples lives are at stake it is imperative that not only are their strict rules and regulations set down but that there is a process in place to make sure that those involved are following them as they are intended.
When looking at the idea of Germ-Line gene therapy and its development one can see that there are good arguments both for and against it, but in the end progressing medical treatments has been a long standing tradition and should be continued. As mentioned earlier, progression in modern medicine has been the foundation of why the human population continues to exist today. There have been had diseases and illnesses in the history of mankind that have threatened to wipe out everyone on the planet. If it were not for the development of modern drugs and treatment techniques people may not exist today.
Advancements in medicine must be pursued for the sake of everyone. People who are born with genetic defects are not provided with...
More often than not these people either do not live very long or do not live productive lives. These people, just like everyone else, should be given the opportunity to live their lives to the fullest. This is where modern medicine and gene therapy research come into play. If there is the slightest chance that genetic defects can be cured or prevented then that is what should be done. There should of course be strict rules and regulations put into place to protect those people who participate in human clinical trials in order to ensure their safety. It appears that there are many standards that can be put into place to protect those involved and these rules and regulations need to be administered in the strictest ways possible. Medical advancements need to move forward, but not at the cost of human life. It is the reasonability of the medical research community to make sure that things are being done properly in order to protect everyone involved.

As a result of technological advancements it is now possible for teachers and students to communicate over thousands of miles. Instructors are also able to give assignments which students can submit despite the distance. In this way, technology has enabled global
All these charters that have clearly defined the boundaries of what both the positive i.e. natural rights and negative i.e. The unjust exploitative rights of the people are and how no institution or research domains have the right or power to violate them (Dierkes, Hoffmann and Marz, 1996). Based on the above fact, we have to consider all the concerns related towards security of an individual as well as his

Without the regulation of galactolipids, the growth of the
In Vitro Fertilization This is a paper that outlines the morality issue behind in vitro fertilization. It has 12 sources. As scientific progress advances more rapidly than the ability of mankind to assimilate and comprehend its influence on life concerns, fields such as Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) are turning heretofore basic issues like procreation into complex ethical and moral dilemmas. In 1978, with the birth of Louise Brown, the first child conceived through
Christian Biotechnology: Not a Contradiction in Terms Presented with the idea of "Bioethics" most people in the scientific community today immediately get the impression of repressive, Luddite forces wishing to stifle research and advancement in the name of morality and God. Unfortunately, this stereotype too often holds true. If one looks over the many independent sites on the Internet regarding bioethics, reads popular magazines and publications, or browses library shelves for
Ethics of Embryo Design Selecting the Perfect Baby With all the recent advances in science and technology, there are new options for couples looking to get pregnant. This includes not only first time couples who have had trouble getting pregnant, but also couple looking to design their perfect baby using science to pick out the most desired genetic markers. This is the choice given to the Shannons, who are looking to have
