Genetic Engineering

/in /by

Walter Gannon supports somatic cell gene therapy but argues that the technology should not be used for genetic enhancements. Julian Savulescu argues that it is not only permissible to use genetic engineering to enhance ourselves and our offspring; he also argues that morality may require that we do so. Critically evaluate the arguments on both sides. Is it permissible to use somatic cell genetic engineering for enhancements? Critically evaluate the arguments advanced by Leroy Walters and Julie Gage Palmer for the claim that in some cases germline genetic engineering is preferable to somatic cell genetic engineering. First, explain the difference between the two types of genetic engineering. Supposing that one day the technology will be safe and effective, should it be used to alter the human genome? Defend your answer within the context of the assigned readings.

Procreative Responsibility

/in /by

Consider the case of Iceland where prenatal genetic testing for Downs Syndrome is routine. The video notes that Iceland has nearly eliminated Downs Syndrome. This policy helps alleviate the tax burden of caring for disabled persons. (Rationing is essential in a single-payer system.) But when they say Iceland has nearly eliminated Downs Syndrome they are saying that fetuses with Downs Syndrome are routinely aborted. Assess Krass’s arguments for the claim that aborting defective fetuses is morally wrong. Purdy argues that if parents who are at risk of conceiving a defective fetus have a problem with abortion they should opt for pre-implantation screening and discard defective embryos. Critically evaluate Purdy’s argument. McMahan criticizes Kass’s view that disabled fetuses should be placed on par with healthy fetuses. His central argument is that if it is okay to select for health then it should also be okay to select for disability. Yet both McMahan and Davis argue it is wrong to select for disability. More generally, do you think social policies like those in place in Iceland are morally problematic? Defend your answer within the context of the assigned readings.

Exploring Evidence-Based Solutions

/in /by

Evidence-based solutions are typically well researched and published in respected journals. Evidence does not necessarily mean that a solution will reduce or improve every community’s public health problems, however. Conversely, a lack of evidence does not necessarily mean that a solution will not work for a particular community or population. In each case, additional assessment might be needed to decide whether this solution is appropriate. A community health assessment can be used to find out whether, and how, an evidence-based solution might work in a community or for a particular population, and how that solution might need to be adapted.

For this week’s Discussion, consider the different criteria discussed in the Resources used to judge the relevancy of evidence-based solutions to public health problems. Use the Walden Library and the Resources to investigate and select one article related to an evidence-based solution to a public health problem. Consider how this evidence-based solution can be generalized to other populations or within several communities.

With these thoughts in mind:

 

Post  3 pages of a description of a community health problem and an evidence-based solution to the problem in the resource you selected. Then, explain how successfully it might be generalized to a larger population. Justify your response. Finally, explain what might limit the use of this solution with several communities or other populations. Justify your response
