Contraversial Issues

Natural Reproduction

9.Cloning: The creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another.

3.Carrier testing: Genetic tests of parents that show the risk of passing on a genetic disorder

8.Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis for Non-deleterious Traits: Fertilization of sperm and egg in a Petri dish. Embryos are screened for genes of non-deleterious traits (such as hair color, height, sex).  Those with desired genes are inserted into the female reproductive tract via a syringe in a doctor’s office.

6.Artificial Insemination: Insertion of sperm into female reproductive tract by syringe in a doctor’s office

7.In Vitro Fertilization: Fertilization of sperm and egg in a Petri dish.  Viable embryos are chosen and inserted into the female reproductive tract via a syringe in a doctor’s office.

5.Prenatal testing: genetic screening of fetus for genes that cause disorders

8.Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis for Diseases: Fertilization of sperm and egg in a Petri dish. Embryos are screened for a certain genetic disorder.  Those without the defective gene are inserted into the female reproductive tract via a syringe in a doctor’s office.

4.Fertility drugs: Prescription drugs which increase a woman’s chance of becoming pregnant

This is a list of some controvertial issues in our society. The issue that i think is the most controvertial is a 9 and the least is obviously a 2. I think that cloning is the most controvertial issue because i think it would be creepy to have exact image of me walking around pretending to be me. What if he gets into trouble and blames me. The second most contravertial issue is pre-implantation genetic diagnosis for diseases, because it is nasty, and it seems to me to be a wrong method. The third one Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis for Non-deleterious Traits is pretty bad, i listed it as an eight just the second one, because in my opinion they're both pretty nasty, and just seem wrong. The in vitro fertilization seems wrong to me thats its the fourth most contravertial, the method is pretty gross. The artificial insemination is the next most contravertial because it also seems gross, and just wrong, and unnatural. The next one isnt bad, it is Prenatal testing, it tells you what kind of disorders the kids have. The next one is fertility drugs which makes you more suceptible to have a baby.  The final one i think is carrier testing, which tests what kind of disorders your kid will have.
