Transcript of Pp2
Genetic engineering is a positive treatment because it has helped doctors cure many
forms of diseases that were incurable at first.
Thesis statement
Ashanthi Desilva
Her immune system had problems Left her hospitalized
Ashanthi Desilva
She was missing a gene This gene helped her immune system
Ashanthi Desilva
Through genetic engineering she can live a normal life
Putting her own blood back in her body with the new gene in it
Children and choices
Through genetic engineering children have been given a greater range of freedom.
They have also been given more choices in life if they had a problem.
Parents role
Parents have helped in many ways They have helped their children make
decisions and always have their child’s best interest at heart
“Parents today can determine the genetic destiny of future generations” Dr. D’souza
Today parents are able to determine what their child looks like and how smart they are before they are even born
These babies are called “designer ” babies
HGH
HGH stands for Human Growth Hormone which helps humans get taller
HGH is being mass produced for little people or as they are called Dwarfs.
Dwarfs are buying this like crazy because it can help dwarfs get taller.
Dwarfs who might want HGH
A disease that would drastically reduce the quality of human life should be a candidate for G.E.
This means that diseases like cancer, Polio, and others of this sort would be able to be cured by genetic engineering
I think that any disease should be allowed to be cured by genetic engineering
Why is G.E. in the negative light?
Genetic engineering is in the negative light because all that people hear about is the deaths, horrible side effects, and other things people say
Why it should be taken out of the negative light
It should be put in the positive light because it has helped many people live a more full and better life
As in the case of Ashanthi Desilva you can get the necessary treatment at any age
