Answer: Judicial branch

Explanation: The judicial branch as one of branches, has duties that include, among other things, criminal and civil courts, but also have the responsibility of interpreting the Constitution of the United States of America. This happens when the disputes need to be resolved in terms of meaning of the Constitution. The most important part of this branch is the Supreme Court which interprets the Constitution when necessary, and to limit the power of other branches.

An example of this of Judicial branch is the interpretation of the Fourth Amendment, i.e. whether the police violated the law when it entered someone's house or carried out a stop and search. Then the suspects claim that the police have no right to do so on the basis of the Fourth Amendment . So, there is a dispute in the interpretation of the Constitution, and suspect can sue a policeman under the Fourth Amendment. The judge decides in whose favor the dispute will be resolved.

shusha [124]

This could be seen as a societal problem in that people with this condition may require extra help from wider society to support them with their developmental challenges.
2. A key ethical concern arising out of the research is who decides and why which areas of potential impact are the ones that should be developed into processes or 'treatments'. Also who decides at what cost these processes are made available to the public?
3. A commissioner appointed by elected representatives of the public with access to specialist resources from the judiciary and medical world should be in place to direct the research. This would hopefully force the analysis to be done on a practical foundation.
