- バイオエシック
- 生殖医学
背景:
- ポリジェニック胚スクリーニング (PES) は,新しい植入前の遺伝子検査 (PGT) テクノロジーです.
- PESは多くの遺伝子の遺伝的傾向と 非医学的な特徴を評価します
- 倫理的な実施には,社会福祉法に関する利害関係者の見解が不可欠です.
研究 の 目的:
- 多遺伝子胚スクリーニング (PES) の潜在的な規制に対する臨床医と患者の態度を探求する.
- この先端の遺伝子スクリーニング技術に関する 異なる見解を理解する
主な方法:
- 主要な利害関係者との個別的な半構造面接が行われました.
- 面接の記録を分析するために,テーマ分析が用いられました.
- 参加者は27人の生殖内分泌の専門家と,IVFを 受けているまたは最近受けた26人の患者でした.
主要な成果:
- ほとんどの臨床医は患者の安全を確保するために PESの何らかの規制を支持しました.
- 患者の多くは 生殖の自律性を強調し 規制に抵抗しました
- PESのガバナンスに関する臨床医と患者の見解は大きく異なる.
結論:
- 臨床医が支持する福祉主義的なアプローチと 患者が支持する自由主義的なアプローチの間の対立は明らかです
- PESの効果的なガバナンスフレームワークを開発するには,さまざまな利害関係者の利益のバランスをとる必要があります.
- PESとその規制の倫理的・実用的な意味合いに対処するには,継続的な対話が不可欠です.

CRISPR
52.9K
Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

Polygenic Traits
66.5K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Embryonic Stem Cells
3.7K
Embryonic stem (ES) cells were first discovered in mice in 1981 by Martin Evans. In 1998, James Thomson identified a method to isolate embryonic stem cells from humans. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are obtained from 3-5 day old embryos that remain unused after an in vitro fertilization procedure.
ES cells are grown in a culture medium where they can divide indefinitely, creating ES cell lines. Under certain conditions, ES cells can differentiate, either spontaneously into a variety of...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance
35.2K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
