Answer: There are few ‘laws’ in science. Those ‘laws’ are so named for historical reasons, but they are theoretical in nature. They set out what happens when a theory is applied in practice. A theory is simply the best explanation we have for understanding why some process takes place and predicting what the result will be.

Explanation: Anyone who describes something as “just a theory” does not understand what a theory is. Laws are arbitrary human rules. Theories are severely tested and re-tested explanations of why things happen in the real physical world and can be used to make predictions about outcomes.

Some would say that theories are about why something happens and laws (in science) describe what happens. But this simply makes a scientific ‘law’ a subset of a scientific theory, explaining how to make predictions.

genetic engineering might allow parent to 'design' their children before birth are you in favor of this? why or why not?​
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

I think it is quite an interesting idea to allow parents to 'design' their children before birth. Because some people have preferences and those preferences are taken very seriously. I wouldn't want to have a baby boy, I would want a baby girl. Although, this could be a waste of money and time because this might be one of the things that are better not to be fixed even if it isn't broken. But, this can also be good, if you desperately need a child with specific features, this can help. Even if I can't seem to find a reason where a child is supposed to have specific features.
