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.
