Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis"Please make sure our little one has blond hair and blue eyes", and "I want him to be a good athlete and very intellectual." “Oh, and doctor, please do it without illness.” “Is that all?” “You two aren't very particular, are you?” This will be an easy case . " "We will continue the implantation in two days. "With the enormous advancement of technology in many areas of genetic diagnosis, parents and doctors seem to challenge Mother Nature and perhaps even God every day. An example One of the main aspects of this phenomenon is genetic diagnosis Will the advantages of this technology outweigh the disadvantages? Who should be the final authority? Genetic diagnosis (PID, PGD) involves the collection and testing of a single cell from the embryo (zoster or blastocyst… a collection of 7 to 10 cells)3, after in vitro fertilization (IVF), to detect the possibility of transmission of a genetic disease from parent to child This procedure is called micromanipulation. If the genetic material may cause a genetic disorder, it is discarded and the others are returned. genetically defective before they have a chance to develop.” .3 More specifically, the woman is induced, through medication, to ovulate in large quantities and the eggs are collected. Then standard IVF takes place. Three days later, each embryo contains about eight cells and is ready to be biopsied. A micromanipulator holds the area in place with a holding pipette. Then another pipette pierces the shell using ...... middle of paper ...... this is why we also feel the need to genetically modify what God has done and intended. These questions seem to pose bigger questions that need more answers than the need for IVF and PID procedures and their progress.References1. http://www.medicalcenter.gwu.edu2. http://www.aaas.org/spp/dspp/sfrl/progects/stem/reprot.pdf3. http://www.religious tolerance.orglabo_pgd.htm4. http://www.nhgri.nih.gov/About_NHGRI/Dir/Ethics/pre.htmlNational Human Genome Research Institute.
