Exam 9: Altering Genes and Cloning Humans

To what principle or right does this argument appeal? We all have a right to personal liberty,but reproductive cloning would severely constrain our freedom to act according to our own lights.A clone would grow up watching her genetic duplicate,believing that the life she wants to live has already been lived by her twin.So she thinks she has no open future,and her sense of personal freedom is destroyed.

Suppose an animal is bred to have a significant number of human genes,to the point where experts wondered whether the creature was a person with full moral rights.To this question Mary Anne Warren would probably say that:

Some oppose the use of genetic enhancement on the grounds that:

Gene therapy designed to repair the genes in ________ can affect future generations.

Genetic intervention to make people better than normal is known as:

A key argument for using gene therapy is based on:

Cells know what to do because instructions are chemically encoded into each cell's:

Many of those opposed to genetic engineering argue that:

If using gene enhancement would result in greater overall happiness,then ________ would likely approve of it.

The false doctrine that genes determine all of a person's physical and behavioral traits is known as:

Experimental gene therapy was used on children who had "bubble boy disease." Most of the children responded well to the treatment,but one developed a form of leukemia (an expected result).What are some of the relevant considerations (moral and nonmoral)the researchers contemplated or should have contemplated in deciding to try the unproven treatment?

The production of a genetically identical copy of an existing biological entity in an asexual process is called:

The experimental technique for directly changing a person's genes to prevent or treat disease is Known as:

A gene is a:

If you adhered to the Roman Catholic view of genetic intervention,you would likely:

The idea that an adult human clone would be an exact copy of its adult human donor is:

If gene doping were used on an athlete without his or her knowledge,that would be a violation of the:

Almost everyone agrees that:

A genome is:

To what moral principle does this argument appeal? We have the right to produce children or not to produce them;if we have this right,then we also have the right to decide whether our children suffer or don't suffer from a disease or disability,or whether they have better-than-normal traits;therefore,we have a right to use any safe and effective genetic technology to help our children.
