Sacrifice And Bettering Children's Lives

Sacrifice And Bettering Children's Lives Name Institution In her book 'Made To Order Savior,' Lisa Belkin. Lisa highlights the scenario in which two families, Nashe's and Goldberg's are torn between ethical considerations, or to let their children suffer from the Fanconi's syndrome. Lisa uses two broad perspectives to highlight the decision of either life or death. Through scientific importance and different ethical values, life-threatening decisions are usually made. Consequently, the weight of one opinion would precede the other. In her book, Lisa raises the question of life's worth through an illustration of the role of medicine Often people face difficult challenges from which they have to decide the correct measures o take. In many scenarios, people believe that death is not an option, and would thus take any possible measures to promote good health. However, there comes a question of to what extent individuals are willing to go. Related to this is the critique of using one's life to save that of another individual. As a result of the advent of scientific technology, the idea of in vitro fertilisation is primarily considered by both parties. Lisa emphasises on the statement"… newer technology to pick and choose from the resulting embryos…" ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"iZTa4LeP","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}The Made-to-Order Savior - The New York Times,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)","plainCitation":"(“The Made-to-Order Savior - The New York Times,” n.d.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":101,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/J4QwJhze/items/KC7SCTWY"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/J4QwJhze/items/KC7SCTWY"],"itemData":{"id":101,"type":"webpage","title":"The Made-to-Order Savior - The New York Times","URL":"/2001/07/01/magazine/the-made-to-order-savior.html","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",3,28]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“The Made-to-Order Savior - The New York Times,” n.d.) Ideally, both families are more determined to save their children through genetic manipulation, where an ideal genetical structure is extracted, and modified to help the children. An opposition is seen due to the notion that scientific technology would possibly imply an erosion of moral values. In this scenario, ethicists are concerned, as there is increased evidence of Frankenstein medicine. Moreover, in an attempt to enhance social benefits, there is intimidation by Congress to ban embryo research. From Belkin's point of view, she highlights the resistance faced towards genetic engineering and gene therapy. Despite the acceptance of the use of genetic engineering in other fields of study, ethicists oppose the use of such kind of technology on human lives, since it may have severe and irreversible consequences. Since ethicists are against the use of biotechnology, conflict is seen to arise when the parents perceive the use of technology as a means to save and extend human life. The parents, however, have faith In her book, Lisa analyses the situation at hand and critiques the manipulation of natu...
