- Reduces risk of inherited medical conditions
- Increased life span
- Can give traits parents do not carry
- Prevent next generation of family from getting characteristics/diseases]]> 2018-02-07 03:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/228941020 2020davidsoncj https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/228941034 - Termination of embryos
- Baby has no choice in matter
- Loss of individuality 
- Could create a gap in society
- Possibility of damage to the gene pool
- Expensive ]]> 2018-02-07 03:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/228941034 2020davidsoncj https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/228941066 Three Parent In Vitro Fertilization (TPIVF) is the process by which the nucleus of one egg is inserted into the cytoplasm of another egg which has had its nucleus removed but still contains mitochondrial DNA. The hybrid egg is then fertilized with a sperm. When looked at there are three identifiable genetic parents.]]> 2018-02-07 03:45:46 UTC https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/228941066 2020davidsoncj https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/228941382 2018-02-07 03:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/228941382 2020davidsoncj https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/228943641 CRISPR-Cas9 can be programmed to target specific stretches of the genetic code and to edit DNA at precise locations, as well as for other purposes, such as for new diagnostic tools. With these systems, researchers can permanently modify genes in living cells and organisms and, in the future, may make it possible to correct mutations at precise locations in the human genome in order to treat genetic causes of disease.]]> 2018-02-07 04:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/228943641 2020davidsoncj https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/229040381 Germline genetic modification is a form of genetic engineering which involves changing genes in eggs, sperm, or very early embryos. This type of engineering is inheritable, meaning that the modified genes would appear not only in any children that resulted from the procedure but in all succeeding generations.]]> 2018-02-07 11:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/229040381 2020davidsoncj https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/229042281 2018-02-07 11:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/229042281 2020davidsoncj https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/229042315 2018-02-07 11:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/229042315 2020davidsoncj https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/229047647 2018-02-07 11:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/229047647 2020davidsoncj https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/229837583 2018-02-08 21:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/2020davidsoncj/ace9pn6y23oq/wish/229837583
