Genetic Engineering
This topic looks at human genetic engineering. We start with PGD - screening embryos for disorders, and see how this can lead to Designer Babies. The technique can also be used to create a donor match for an existing sick sibling - Saviour Siblings. We find out about 2 different tyoes of Gene Therapy. The topic of embryonic stem-cell research comes up under Therapeutic Cloning. Finally, we look at the rights and wrongs of Reproductive Cloning.
