In February of this year, the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority in the United Kingdom approved a request by the Francis Crick Institute in London to modify human embryos using the new gene editing technique CRISPR-Cas9. This is the second time human embryos have been employed in such research, and the first time their use has been sanctioned by a national regulatory authority. The scientists at the Institute hope to cast light on early embryo development—work which may eventually lead to safer and more successful fertility treatments.
The embryos, provided by patients undergoing in vitro fertilization, will not be allowed to develop beyond seven days. But in theory—and eventually in practice—CRISPR could be used to modify disease-causing genes in embryos brought to term, removing the faulty script from the genetic code of that person’s future descendants as well. Proponents of such “human germline editing” argue that it could potentially decrease, or even eliminate, the incidence of many serious genetic diseases, reducing human suffering worldwide. Opponents say that modifying human embryos is dangerous and unnatural, and does not take into account the consent of future generations.

The answer is B. <span>emotion focused
</span><span>emotion focused approach is aimed to reduce the overall stress by minimizing the negative emotion that one's feel.
The process could be done with one of three ways, either confronting the cause of the negative emotion, avoid it, or finding compassionate support from others.</span>
Answer:
cultural; inherited physical
Explanation:
The difference between ethnicity and race is that ethnicity refers to <u>cultural</u> characteristics and race to <u>inherited physical</u> characteristics to distinguish one group of people from another. ethnicity is the act of belonging to a group with a similar cultural characteristics while race is a characterization of human based on physical attributes.
Answer:
This practice is called <u>redistricting</u>.
Explanation:
In the United States, districts are geographical areas inside which eligible residents vote to elect their representatives. According to Federal law, every ten years, districts must be redrawn to reflect changes in population. The purpose is to prevent districts from having unequal populations. Redistricting can also happen in response to legal changes in the existing districts.
