ReplyDelete1) Martin is Albino
2) I don't think Martin should get treatment because it is what makes him himself.
3) I believe that Martin should have kids and let this condition control his life.
4)The difference ethical, legal, and social issues is that the problems and solutions are different.
5) Albino- Skin has no color
Genetics- Study of traits and how they are passed down
Pigment- The dye that colors skin,eyes, and hair
Gene- units of information inside the cells of your body
1. Martin came home with a black eye and broken glasses because a boy called him a freak and punched him in the face.
ReplyDelete2. No, I don't think he should get genetic treatment because everybody was made a specific way for a reason.
3.No, I don't think he should avoid having children because there is still a chance they may not have this disease.
4. Ethical issues concern what is moral or right. Legal issues concern the protections that laws or regulations should provide. Social issues concern how society as a whole and individuals in society will be affected by events.
5. albino-the skin has no color
genetics-the study of how traits are passed down or inherited from generation to another.
pigment-the dye that colors the skin, eyes, and hair
gene-are units of information inside the cells of your body.
1. Martin is a albino and constantly is being picked on in school.
ReplyDelete2. If he feels that he needs to then I will support him either way, he is the one hat has to live with I and he is the only one who can change who he is and how he is represented and what people see.
3.No, I don't think he should avoid having children because there is still a chance they may not have this disease. But to me it all depends on how he feels but is would never destroy life.

1) Martin has a medical condition called Albinism. He is albino. He lacks a gene that provides pigment so he looks different from people who has the gene.
ReplyDelete2)Personally, I think Marin should not have genetic treatment to correct his problem. He is not disabled to do much. Martin is just like everyone else he is just lighter than most people and have a few conditions that are not making him incapable.
3)I think Martin should have children if he wants children Albinism is not a disease and its possible to cope with it.
4)Ethics is personal morals. Legal is issue with the law. Social is issues in society.
