    Study Notes

    Exploring Bioethics and Genetic Advancement

    • Bioethics is a field that deals with personal issues that arise in applying medical technology and genetic information.
    • Gene patenting is the exclusive right granted for an invention, which is a product or a process that offers a new technical solution to a problem.
    • Genetic studies and practices include ethical, legal, and social issues, such as the use of gene editing technology to edit humans.
    • CRISPR technology is a method of editing genes that allows scientists to modify DNA sequences and gene function.
    • The extent to which we should edit human embryos is a topic of debate, with some arguing for the ethical implications of gene editing and others advocating for its potential benefits.
    • DNA profiling is utilized in forensics and disasters to identify victims and perpetrators of crimes and natural disasters.
    • Genetic privacy is a concern, and laws like Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) protect against discrimination based on genetic information in employment and health insurance.
    • GINA does not apply to employers with fewer than 15 employees, and employers may request genetic information for voluntary wellness programs.
    • Medical tests for truck drivers include checking for stable blood pressure, healthy heart and respiratory system, and absence of chronic pain or neurological disorders.
    • Genoism, or discrimination based on genetic information, is a possibility in the future even with laws like GINA.
    • In 2013, changes to HIPAA included genetic information as health information and prohibited its use by health insurers to make decisions about eligibility and benefits.
    • The debate around genetic advancement involves balancing the potential benefits with ethical considerations and ensuring the protection of genetic privacy.
