https://padlet.com/kmccabe3/exrfytatfyzy After reading the article I provided, go to the internet and find another article that addresses some ethical concern with biotechnology. (Think CRISPR, stem cells, genetic engineering) Post a link to your article here along with a 2-3 sentence summary of the topic. en-us 2018-10-30 15:48:13 UTC 2018-11-02 00:40:13 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/kmccabe3/exrfytatfyzy/wish/298760478 In recent years, we've seen the development of technology that could possibly result in the concept of "designer babies" becoming reality. IVF, used commonly to help infertile couples, is the process of pre-selecting embryos before implantation. With PDG, scientists can also talk embryos less predisposed to diseases like sickle-cell anemia or cystic fibrosis before implanting in the mother ]]> 2018-10-30 21:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccabe3/exrfytatfyzy/wish/298760478 https://padlet.com/kmccabe3/exrfytatfyzy/wish/298769745 Through recent devolopments and discoveries in the field of biotechnology, ethics come into play.

This procedure is being on by Crisper. The scientists use Primordial germ cells, also known as (PG'C). This ties into the sperm of the egg that is altered by scientists. ]]> 2018-10-31 15:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccabe3/exrfytatfyzy/wish/299020461 https://padlet.com/kmccabe3/exrfytatfyzy/wish/299038383 This article explains the genetic engineering and its effects on many things. It mentions the ethical and religious concerns with the use of genetic engineering. Such as how the process cannot be reversed and what percentage of human genes does an organism have to contain before it is considered human and how many human genes would a green pepper.
