Concept explainers

Reproductive system infection

The biological process through which parents produce new children is called reproduction. A reproductive system is a group of internal and external organs that collaborate to allow males and females to reproduce. Many experts believe that the reproductive system is one of the most important systems in the body due to its crucial function in the survival of the species. Among the body's basic systems, the reproductive tract is the one that differs the most between sexes, and it is also the only one that does not operate until puberty.

CASE STUDY Cancer-killing bacteria Ralph, a 57-year-old man, was diagnosed with colon cancer.His oncologist discussed the use of radiation andchemotherapy as treatments, both of which can causedebilitating side effects. Ralph decided to explore other optionsand went to a cancer clinic. He learned that researchers in asynthetic biology program were testing the use of geneticallymodified bacterial cells designed to selectively invade specifictumors and kill cancer cells, with no effects on normal cells.Ralph decided to participate and was informed that he wouldbe part of a phase III trial, comparing the effects of the modifiedbacterial cell treatment against conventional chemotherapy.However, as part of the trial, he would be randomly assigned toreceive one or the other treatment. He was disappointed to learnthis, because he assumed that he would receive the bacterialtherapy.Question: Informed consent is legally and ethically required beforesomeone participates in a clinical trial.…
