Draft of Quick Reference Guide

After multiple postings and after endless hours of working typing analytical breakdowns of articles, I have finally reached somewhat of an end product. In this short post I have included a link to the rough draft of my quick reference guide.

The controversy my guide covers is drawn from all the sources I have gathered over the great debate on genetic modifications to human embryos. Is this ethical or not? To find out more continue reading and follow the link later in this post.

If you haven't heard, Chinese scientists from the Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China have genetically edited the genome of human embryos. The alterations were successful in 28 of 86 embryos but none resulted in the goal genetic coding; all suffered considerable damage with the formation of unexpected mutations.

These testings have prompted worldwide controversy into whether doing so violates the dully drawn line that marks the halting point to where people should not be allowed to research into. As these tests may produce disease riddled embryos, many think that human modifications to this extent should not be progressed through.
