Hi all

I’m having a few problems on the questions below I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me out and comment on the questions to help me construct an answer.

All help is appreciated and if anyone has any good websites regarding these questions I can look at please let me know. Thanks to all who reply.


QUESTION 1
What controversies and ethical issues arise from the disclosure of test results for disease-causing genes to family members?

Mutations in protective, tumour suppressor genes, like BRCA1 and BRCA2, can strongly predispose individuals to cancer. Discuss the ramifications that might follow the discovery of cancer susceptibility genes in an individual.


QUESTION 2
Discuss firstly, the moral arguments that may be used to SUPPORT the production, development, scientific investigation and the use of biological weapons in military and anti-terrorist situations.

Secondly, discuss the moral arguments for the rejection of such ideas.

Sounds like a kid who doesn't understand his assignment and went online for help.

Yes, well this person may not get the correct answers, you shouldn't be so ridiculous as to say random useless information

First, off their are billions of genetic mutations, I have some that run in my family, I do not want to have children in general, but espeically that I know mentally it will run in one of my female children if I had one and would not want it to suffer like I did. Some really horrific genetic diseases should be first looked at by a genetic consulor that can help you decide the best options for you, even if you are only a carrier...which trust me can be tricky.

Testing has been done in the most terrible ways to create weapons of destruction, especially in concentration camps over in NK...to this day chemical testing over their is a holocaust and you should do a whole research paper on that just to understand some of the newer weapons of today.
