Cystic Fibrosis Response

[gonelli]

I've got an outcome for biology coming up and it's going to involve giving responses to questions all relating to genetic carrier screening of cystic fibrosis. My revision sheet mentions things like why humans should intervene if a person is a carrier, treatments, cultural issues, and also looking at both sides of the issue in terms of the screening.

 

I really would appreciate any help in directions to resources people know of that relate to this kind of information. I've been searching madly on google and through some books and alot of what i need to know, but I haven't found much on information on not screening besides things like cost and belief.

 

Any help for this would be great.

Most of the broad eugenics theory was done in the late '60's and 70's.

 

Science, philosophy is no longer in the elementry stages in regards to this. It was years ago. Yet the world has yet to graduate this degree.

 

Most of us have an imaginary "Big Brother". Big Brother watches over all of us, makes sure we are straight. He acts as a filter to ensure society consists of upright Professionals. He makes sure the water out of the tap is "safe enough" to drink.

 

Part of this notion stems from the Old English Fellowship of Gentlemen who held titles of importance. The British are still rather proper.

 

The other stems from the Biblical circumcision of the Gentiles. The Jewess expects her potential mate to have already gone through the arbiter of good taste.

 

Get yourself into a medical emergency. What do you expect. Your bleeding and it won't stop. The medical emergency services that come to your rescue is the same sort of expectations someone who is pregnant has.

 

Denying services because the person may be scared or in pain, psycho even. Big Brother does not do this. He already knows what it is you need even though you are a psycho bitch.

 

Little Brother is the one who "borrows" money and winds up carrying your coffin. The rest-of-us rely upon the Brotherhood to provide police protection when we are trespassed against.

Most of the controversy surrounding this issue is labled as "religious belief". No where in the bible does it say the things people says it says. "Freedom of Speech", "Freedom of Religion", this things too have clear meaning written in words we can understand.

Dude was asking about genetics. Where'd religion come into this?

[Mr Skeptic]

It wouldn't surprise me if some people, especially religious people, have some issues with genetic diseases and their prevention. IMO, prevention would be a good thing, so long as it is voluntary.
