2.Genetic Counseling -Genetic counseling provides support and information for people who have, or are at risk of having, a genetic disease. Genetic counselors use karyotypes, pedigree charts, and Punnett squares to help them in their work. They calculate the data to give couples a percent chance of their child having a genetic disease. This can make parents think deeply about whether they wish to have children or not. They may not want to pass their disease onto their children so they may not have any. 3.Karyotypes -Karyotypes are pictures of homologous chromosomes lined up during Metaphase 1 of Meiosis. Geneticists can use karyotypes to predict genetic disorders by studying them and seeing if a person has an abnormal amount of chromosomes, missing parts of chromosomes, or mixed up pieces of chromosomes. 5. Cloning
One controversial issue right now is whether reproductive cloning should be allowed or not. Some say that it isnt right for humans to be manufactured but others say that reproductive cloning is a way for sterile couples to have children. Another issue is therapeutic cloning. In this case, scientists are only harvesting stem cells from human embryos. On both accounts, you have people for them, and against them. 6. Harvesting Stem Cells Pro 1 - Cures
