Which statement best expresses the central idea in the article "Proposed Treatment to Fix Genetic Diseases Raises Ethical Issues"?

Options were not given for the question. The option should be:

A. Scientists have discovered a way to prevent genetic defects in babies, but some

believe genetic development should be left to nature

B. Scientists have discovered a way to prevent genetic defects in babies, but some

worry that the process could be used for great economic gain

C. Scientists have discovered a way to prevent genetic defects in babies, but the

method is against many families’ religions

D. Scientists have discovered a way to prevent genetic defects in babies, but the process is still very risky

The correction answer is option D

Scientists have discovered a way to prevent genetic defects in babies, but the process is still very risky

Explanation:

In the article "Proposed Treatment to fix Genetic Diseases Raises Ethical Issues". It is seen that scientists have discovered a way to prevent genetic defects in babies, but the process is very risky as some scientists fears it may introduce new genetic disease into the human population. if a mistake is made in the process, it won't just be mistake that the child is born, but if the child that is born is girl, the children of such child will inherit the mitochondria from the child and introduce a new genetic disease.

Also, asides the fear and risks of introducing errors in the gene pool, there is worry that altering mtDNA could lead to someone trying to make designer babies, Darnovsky, a scientist argues that once genetic changes is allowed to make healthier babies, then all kinds of genetic engineering experiments to make children who are more intelligent or more athletic to have perfect pitch can be done.

From the two inferences above, it can be seen that although scientists have discovered a way to prevent genetic defects in babies, the process is very is still risky.
