Sociological Study of the Impact of Genetics Research
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the sociological concerns of genetic research. Genetic research is a concern for social scientists who feel that largely the “explosion” of knowledge which has occurred in the field of genetic research has not considered the ethical, legal, moral and social impact the research will ultimately have on society. Already those concerned about genetic research have noted the shifts in health care research funding which have left many diseases which affect the overall populations unfunded and instead focused the funding on specific diseases which may or may not be related more to certain ethnic groups. Legally, the increasing number of genetic databases which are kept on individuals may be used for issues relating to insurance, employer files or criminal profiling and critics are concerned that the rights of privacy also will be violated. In addition, concerns in genetic research has led to discussions regarding the rights of disable persons, women and minorities and the ultimate effects of cloning and the human genome project. Largely, most social scientists feel that genetic research will not aid in maintaining the diversity in society but will lead to increasing prejudice and bias. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Spina Bifida
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page paper discussing the birth defect, its causes and treatment. Spina bifida is a birth defect of decreasing incidence in the United States, largely resulting from better nutritional information among women of childbearing age. It can have nearly no symptoms in its mildest forms, but severe cases can manifest paralysis and mental retardation. A high percentage of cases could be avoided with adequate levels of folic acid, and the nutrient has become a standard food additive in the US. Genetic predisposition and some drugs also can play a role. The only known effective treatment is that of surgery; surgeons successfully performed an in utero covering of the neural tube so that exposure to amniotic fluid would not further damage it. The baby was born with normal leg movement only a few weeks later. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
