Among many benefits of genetic engineering are the several cures being developed for presently incurable diseases. Genetics has also opened the door way to biological solutions for world problems, as well as aid for body malfunctions. Genetic engineering is a fundamental tool for leading the world of medicine into the future; therefore, it is crucial to continue research in this field. Today's research in genetic engineering is bringing about new methods for curing and treating major medical illnesses. The Human Genome Project has allowed geneticists to map the genes of human beings.

The development of personalized medicine further will require significant increase of genetic literacy among the entire population because they will have to understand the new perspectives of medicine and transform existing paradigms on health, disease, and medical treatments. A higher degree of genetic literacy among the public and further research on risk factor interactions will allow the complete development of personalized medicine to ensure diagnostic accuracy, treatment choice accuracy, and prevent potential discrimination or misuse of scientific knowledge.

Also the question about who will own the genes. In conclusion, the Human Genome Project has many positive aspects about it such as its help in medicine to help find genes that can cause breast cancer or heart disease however at the same time its has its disadvantages such as its social and ethical issues. In my opinion it will help people in the long run so should be continued.

This approach seems more reasonable than using this technology to choose one’s eye color or keep someone on life support just because it is something that can be done, whether or not that is acceptable or not. To start with, scientific breakthroughs are necessary to improve human health and longevity. With the advancements in biotechnology there comes the opportunity to cure diseases that once devastated the population which allows for a healthier generation of people. For example, many vaccinations for diseases such as H1N1 have been popular in order to avoid being caught with the virus. Vaccinations have been used for years because of their ability to prevent diseases from spreading where they normally would have infected hundreds to thousands of people otherwise.

Cloning can be helpful to those who. “The hope is that cells can be generated to cure these types of diseases where one cell has gone wrong. The growth and transplant of new nerve cells would help with Parkinson’s, the growth cells to produce more insulin for diabetics, and new heart muscle for those suffering from heart disease.” –MCB181 Honors Biology Group 1. Taking the risk of this cloning procedure cannot only extend a person’s lifetime but can also save their life from having to worry about reoccurring organ problems. The medical application of this achievement, benefiting an immense amount of people, is the therapeutic use of cloning.

Medical companies give their clients safe medicine and this is another reason why the genetic medicine and treatment should add on to medicine the world already have. Genetic testing is revolutionary it has the capability to help the world advance and grow. The United States have the ability to use technology and develop technology that could change our world. Through genetic experimentation diseases could cease to plague our citizens, the world could have a new and exciting medical renaissance, and the treatments to diseases would be enduring.

Human cloning is very valuable in surgical treatments and procedures. Through cloning, organs with cancerous cells are replaced preventing the spread of cancer in the body. With human cloning, doctors are able to repair and replace damaged tissues, nerves and organs by cloning them with new ones. Kidney and liver failure can also be treated through clonin... ... middle of paper ... ...oning is right and further research should be encouraged on the issue since it is a good way to save and improve lives. No matter what we say or do, future studies on human cloning will continue, as more and more ethical and moral issues arise.

Somatic gene therapy is currently being researched more aggressively due to ethical and technical complications with germline gene therapy. Technical Aspects Gene therapy began with the Human Genome Project. The Human Genome Project has found gene locations for many diseases. Among the diseases that have been found Huntington’s disease, cystic fibrosis, ADA deficiency, and two genes for breast cancer are just a few examples. After a disease-causing gene is found, correcting it is the next logical step.

I believe human gene therapy is a good and useful tool for medicine and needs to be developed because it posses the ability to help and cure people from ailments that degrade their quality of life. One of the biggest concerns involved in gene therapy in humans is the lack of knowledge and the possibility for consequences later on or i... ... middle of paper ... ...ring deadly diseases and preventing abortions. In order for gene therapy to one day become effective much more research needs to be done to discover the consequences of altering specific genes. Also the technology of gene therapy needs to be cost effective so people who need help are able to get help. In the end gene therapy in humans needs to come a long ways before it will be widely accepted but there is great potential in the technology and it needs to be pursued.

If somatic cell gene therapy was medically available for someone suffering, it should be used to help them. I think the science of gene therapy will continue to advance in years to come. As an accountable citizen, I need to take note and be involved with the decision-making processes or gene therapy could lead to negative things.
