The perfect Children


             Probably next to the year 2050, parents" will selects their children. In a room embryos are stored at 320 degrees Fahrenheit; the genetics characteristics of each embryo are into a computer to help parents select which one would be implanted in wife's womb. First parents examine how his/her child will be physically and mentally; then they examine others characteristics as health prospects, appearance, and temperament. Finally they make their choice and nine months later they rejoice in the birth of the child of their choosing. This is a projection of what Lee Silver, a professor of molecular biology at Princeton university in New Jersey, believes may occur in the decades ahead. He based his ideas on existing research and technology. Already, human embryos can be screened for certain genetic disorders. Indeed, the future to which many are looking is a land of wonders. An editorial in a magazine: "The growing power of molecular genetics confronts us with future prospects of being able to change the nature of our species.".
             Gene Therapy is the process by which cells are supplied with healthy copies of missing, flawed, or desirable genes. Replacing all the bad genes with improves ones. It also involves the genetic screening and testing for diseases. Gene therapy can possibly be a cure for the genetic mutations that are constantly occurring in nature. The manner in which foreign genes are introduced into another cell is referred to as vector treatment. The vector refers to a virus which has been treated so that it is no longer harmful to the host cell. It still does, however, possess the ability to introduce its genetic material into the host cell. Viruses that possess desirable genes for the patient may be selected, or the genes of the virus may be altered in order to place desirable DNA onto the virus. Genetically altered viruses may then cause dramatic changes in the genes of the host cell.
