Doctors should attempt to treat every genetically related health problem and to keep people alive at all cost. If this proposal were initiated, there would be many effects on our society. Describe three ethical medical technologies that would reduce the financial costs created by initiating this proposal. Evaluate the proposal from both a genetic and a moral point of view. Your response should include the following information: • A description of three medical technologies that are ethical and that would likely reduce some of the financial costs created by initiating the proposal • A balanced argument for and against the proposal from the scientific perspective of a geneticist • A balanced argument for and against the proposal from the perspective of a policy maker (eg. a politician or a religious leader

Use the following information to answer the next question. In the 19th century, individuals who were not among the "normal" population were often thought to be failures or defectives. Early in the 20th century, the interaction of genetics, law and society resulted in policies of enforced sterilization, restrictive immigration, and institutionalization of those thought to be genetic defectives. As this century closes, society will haev difficult choices to make about the legality, morality, and economics of applying genetic knowledge and technology. The difficulty of this situation is summarized in the words of a famous geneticist, Theodosius Dobzhansky (b. 1900 - d. 1975) "If we enable the weak and the deformed to live and produce more of their kind, we face the prospect of a genetic twilight (decline). but if we let them die or suffer when we can help them, we face the certainty of a moral twilight."
