Report
BIO1050 - Todd Week 10 - Boy Man Listen to the podcast episode and answer the following questions. 1. What condition does Patrick have that affected his development? What were the symptoms described in the episode? (1 pt) - Patrick has a condition known as test toxicosis, or precocious puberty, which caused him to begin experiencing puberty at an exceptionally young age. Symptoms included having pubic hair before age two, a mustache by middle school, aggressive behavior, and significant growth spurts that made him appear much older than his actual age. This condition led to a challenging childhood, filled with misunderstandings and social difficulties. 2. Where in the body is testosterone produced? (1 pt) - Testosterone is produced in the testes. 3. Where in the body does the signal to produce testosterone originate? (1 pt) - The signal to produce testosterone originates in the pituitary gland in the brain, which releases hormones that stimulate the testes. 4. What are some of the effects of testosterone that are described in the episode? (1 pt) - The episode describes several effects of testosterone, including physical growth, the development of body hair, increased aggression, and heightened sexual impulses at an age when Patrick couldn't understand them. 5. If you were in the shoes of Patrick and his wife, would you choose to test the embryos or no? Why? (There is no right or wrong answer here. You may agree or disagree with Patrick’s decision. I just want you to explore your thoughts surrounding these topics.) (2 pts) - If I were in Patrick and his wife's shoes, I would lean towards testing the embryos. The prospect of potentially sparing my child from the hardships and isolation that can come from such a rare and challenging condition would weigh heavily on my decision. However, Patrick's story also highlights how our struggles shape us, making this decision profoundly complex. 6. What was surprising to you, or changed your thinking? (1 pt) - What surprised me and changed my thinking was the realization that our most significant challenges could also be our most defining traits. Patrick's story exemplifies how adversity can shape one's character and life path in unexpected ways, pushing me to reflect on the nuanced nature of human experience.
BIO1050 - Todd 7. What is one question you still have about this information? (1 pt) - My remaining question is about the broader implications of genetic testing for conditions like precocious puberty. How do we balance the potential benefits of preventing suffering against the ethical considerations of selecting against certain traits or conditions? This question digs into the complex territory of genetic engineering and what it means for the future of humanity.
