Is the practice of genetically modifying human cells ethical? Why or why not?

Biology
1 answer:
kumpel [21]3 years ago
8 0

It totally depends upon whether modification is being done in somatic cells or germ cells. Somatic cells modification is ethically accepted because it doesn't pass from one generation to another generation but germline modification is considered as unethical because the modification will pass on to the next generation leading to the persistence of modification in future generations. The problem with genetic modifications is that the impacts of modifications are unpredictable, rather than being fruitful they may lead to lethal mutations so if it occurs in just somatic cells, then even if it is lethal/harmful, it will be confined to only that individual but if a lethal mutation occurs in germ cells then it will pass on to the subsequent generations and it will persist in all future generations.

Travka [436]

Answer:

Option C, coracoid process of the scapula

Explanation:

Coracobrachialis muscle is one of the essential muscles that is responsible for the movement of elbow along with biceps brachii and triceps muscles.  

The coracobrachialis arises from the coracoid process of the scapula. It assists the elbow in flexion and internal rotation. Musculocutaneous nerve passes through the Coracobrachialis muscle and terminates at the lateral end of the cutaneous nerve of the forearm. However, the Coracobrachialis terminates at the humerus and its medial surface

Hence, option C is correct
