Bioethics Discussion Question (Genai Brown)

1. What is wrong with Martin ? 
    
Martin is albino 

2. Do you think Martin should get the treatment why or why not ? 

I think that Martin should not get it because even though he has this disease it's unfortunate. But he will still be able to live it also him having this he stands out and acts different from everyone else. 

3. Do you think Martin should avoid having children in order to not pass along his condition? Why or why not? 

Martin should not have kids because it's already bad enough he has to go through it his self. This disease is going cause more stress for him and the child when he starts school. It's better if he just gets a adopted child. 

4. What is the difference between ethical, legal, and social issues? 

Ethical issues concern what is moral or right. Legal issues concern the protections that laws or regulations should provide. and social issues concern how society as a whole will be affected by events.
