Modifying Within The Womb And Its Effects On Human Life

Modifying Within The Womb Technologies that have been created by humans have assisted on the increasing of human life, and allowing humans to survive conditions that could have caused them to die also the ability to resist sicknesses. The ability for us to control both plants and animals and allowing the humans to base their carrying capacity on a fake ecosystem that they have created, except of just their natural environment they inhabited from there parents. For many years, humankind has found ways to make themselves immune to certain sicknesses. Now a days, with the new understanding concerning the genetic structure of mankind, scientist are finding ways to end the suffering of the millions who are born with diseases that they got†¦show more content†¦Cloning, somatic genetic engineering, and germline genetic engineering (a series of germ cells each descended or developed from earlier cells in the series, regarded as continuing through successive generations of an organis m) are considered possible in the future for Humans to be able to do. Research is currently happening to allow for genetic engineering benefit humankind (Who Owns Life 21). Cloning is an example of a process of genetic engineering. In cloning, cells make copies of themselves. On February 1997 Dolly the sheep as the first successful animal reproductive clone (Who Owns Life 25). In the case of cloning Dolly only one out of one hundred fertilized eggs produce a successful replicate. Due to how complicated the human body is, as well as the Religious issues involved in making copies of humans while also killing hundreds of eggs while trying to have a successful procedure. Scientists have been focusing more on therapeutic cloning. Therapeutic cloning is when scientists take cells from healthy organs and grow completely new organs for people who need organ transplants â€Å"The research for these procedures is promising, but also time consuming, challenging, and expensive† (Cook-Dee gan 79). All cells in the human body except on creating of sperm, eggs, and the cells that make them are somatic cells. Somatic genetic therapy, genes are inserted into cells within a person, to replace genes that cause the cell to breakdown (Caplan 114). This
