Human Genetic Screening

Human Genetic Screening Human genetic screening is a very complex and very powerful process. Genetic screening can later detect the genetic trait that may be afflicted with a disease that may alter their life to a person. Like other creatures, human life is like cells. Human cells consist of 46 chromosomes paired to 23 pairs of different chromosomes. Each of these chromosomes has thousands of genes. Each gene consists of information encoding a specific trait.

Given the advances in technology and medicine, genetic screening and testing are becoming more common in our society. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) describes genetic screening as "searching for populations with specific genotypes within a population, (1) being already associated with or susceptible to disease, 3) other (NHGRI, 2005) - This research report uses a symbolic, interactive perspective to compare different leadership bias in the workplace.

Genetic screening is always controversial. More and more studies have been done on etiology of this disease since the 1990s (Chadwick, 1). Screening brings benefits - the opportunity to see diseases and cancer that may be at risk, and the opportunity to look up personal personal genomes (Tree.com). However, as genetic screening becomes more common it leads to a number of disadvantages. - Sex discrimination in the workplace is still obvious despite equal legalization opportunities. Women have made great progress in terms of labor and are an integral part of the labor market. Because they have more opportunities to pursue higher education, they can gain more traditional male-dominated occupations like law.

As genes related to specific genetic diseases have been recently identified, better gene screening tests, new drugs and gene therapy can fight these diseases. However, there are lots of controversial ethical, legal and social implications regarding increasing the knowledge of the human genome.
