Eugenics and Genetic Testing

The implementation of Nazi discrimination on biological inferiority contributes to the negative stigma of eugenics in the history of harmful eugenics (1, Kitcher, 190). As Kitcher looks from a simple point of view, genetic testing should be limited to helping children with very poor quality of life in the future (2, Kitcher, 190). He believes that genetic engineering should only be used to avoid illness and illness.

With all the new technologies we have, you have to ask yourself if we are creating new eugenics through genetic testing. In the past few years, the doctor was able to conduct prenatal testing. There, the doctor extracts some amniotic fluid from around the fetus and tests the fluid for over 150 diseases. Among these diseases there are even those that have a marginal impact on lethal to infant, Tiesacks disease, Down's syndrome, and overall debilitation. In addition, what happened recently is that doctors are afraid not to test because they do not want to be prosecuted by women who gave birth. For this reason, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecologists' College of Veterinary Medicine of the United States reminded all members that it was necessary to inform all patients during pregnancy about the usefulness of screening for neural tube defects.

Contemporary eugenics take different forms, but there is still controversy. These clinical treatments include gene screening and examination, but there is a possibility that fetal miscarriage may result even if the fetus is judged to have a genetic disorder. I have not started making 'designer's baby', but many people think that the idea of ​​selecting functions like this is immoral.

Recent advances in genetics and reproductive technology have focused on repairing erroneous genes associated with disease or other health conditions and are in a new form of "modern eugenics" or "human genetic engineering" I opened the door to eugenics. Human genetic engineering is the science of manipulating the individual's genetic makeup or genotype, with the aim of changing his or her observable characteristics or phenotype. Human genetic engineering is divided into two categories: negative engineering, which refers to the correction and inheritance of hereditary diseases, and active engineering, which refers to raising the genetic makeup of individuals.
