The theory of natural selection has it that individuals withbetter genes tend to survive and reproduce, passing their genes totheir offspring. This gradual process results in a population moreadapted at survival. However, due to the advancement in medicalscience, humans with poorer genes tend to survive and reproducejust as well.

For example, in the past, many people, excluding those withnatural immunity due to some genetic mutations, would havesuccumbed to illnesses such as malaria and typhoid. But with betterhygiene and medical treatment, these patients tend to survive.

Now, imagine a future where all illnesses including cancer canbe treated. How would it impact the survival of the human race?Would we become more and more vulnerable such that our survivalhinges heavily on medical technology, analogous to how anastronaut's survival is dependent on his spacesuit?

A public health agency is considering a policy that requires everyone over the age of 18 to be screened for a sexually transmitted (STD) infectious disease each year. This policy would be used to determine those who are positive vs. those who are negative. Those who test positive will be required to undergo treatment and disclose their diseases status to any former and future sexual partners.

Question about this policy: State two reasons to oppose such a policy. Use arguments related to the nature of STDs, health literacy, or validity measures of diagnostic test. Also, consider social science factors and ethical concerns.

Answer should include this: Clear statements regarding opposition for a mass screening program are given. At least two supporting statements for Con positions are given. Evidence of consideration of cost, privacy, sustainability, manpower, civil liberty is present

Choose a current newspaper article (no older than two years before the start of your course contract) that describes a genetic study.* The article cannot be from a medical/health type of information source (such as Science Daily), or from a scientific publication. Summarize the information presented in the article in paragraph form by addressing the points below. (If you cannot address all or nearly all of these points, choose another article.) Include any other information relevant to your studies in this course, as provided in the article.

• describe the phenotype of the trait.

• describe the genetic basis of the trait, identifying known genes, other genes involved, and any contributing environmental factors (or other information provided) that are relevant to expression of the trait.

• name the mode of inheritance if it is given or if you can deduce it.

• describe the particular type of mutation, as applicable.

• describe the related protein and its normal and mutant effects.

• identify any genetic technologies used in the study.

• does the author make any errors in use of terminology?
