The disease gets fixed AND the new genetic copies get passed on to future offspring. Question: Will we be creating "biologically superior" children? ]]> 2017-08-20 01:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahoney6/demhwe7ocusd/wish/181741352 kmahoney6 https://padlet.com/kmahoney6/demhwe7ocusd/wish/181741408 Wrtie your name on the link!

Genome editing allows parents to select the traits they want for their children like blonde hair, height, blue eyes, e.t.c. Is it morally acceptably to allow parents to modify their kids for the sake of improving them or to prevent potential life threatening diseases?]]> 2018-08-27 14:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahoney6/demhwe7ocusd/wish/275536550 https://padlet.com/kmahoney6/demhwe7ocusd/wish/275536939 2018-08-27 14:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahoney6/demhwe7ocusd/wish/275536939 https://padlet.com/kmahoney6/demhwe7ocusd/wish/275536955 2018-08-27 14:04:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahoney6/demhwe7ocusd/wish/275536955 https://padlet.com/kmahoney6/demhwe7ocusd/wish/275537830 Doctors have started to talk more and more about patients having end of life care.  This article talks about why we should have it, what it is, and why some health insurance companies don't want to have end of life care. ]]> 2018-08-27 14:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kmahoney6/demhwe7ocusd/wish/275537830 https://padlet.com/kmahoney6/demhwe7ocusd/wish/275538079 A study found that Artificial Intelligence can predict if someone will be a criminal or not solely based on their facial features.
